FILGRASTIM, G-CSF (fil GRA stim) is a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor that stimulates the growth of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell (WBC) important in the body's fight against infection.
The hypothalamus, a part of the brain, is responsible for many hormones. Understanding these brainy hormones will help you take control of your body and your health. The hypothalamus produces hormones that control the production of hormones in the pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland may be king, but the power behind the throne is clearly the hypothalamus. As alluded to in the last section, some of the neurons within the hypothalamus-neurosecretory neurons-secrete hormones that strictly control secretion of hormones from the anterior pituitary.n the case of TSH, the target organ is the thyroid gland. Clearly, robust control systems must be in place to prevent over or under-secretion of hypothalamic and anterior pituitary hormones.
