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 nervous system can control hormone levels through the action of the hypothalamus and its releasing and inhibiting hormones. For example, TRH produced by the hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce TSH. Tropic hormones provide another level of control for the release of hormones. The anterior pituitary produces 6 important hormones: 2  Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), as its name suggests, is a tropic hormone responsible for the stimulation of the thyroid gland. 3  Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex, the outer part of the adrenal gland, to produce its hormones.
