Answers. Relevance. Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Tropic hormones are anterior pituitary-secreted hormones that regulate the activity of various endocrine glands. One example is the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (produced by the anterior pituitary) and stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones.he release of tropic hormones is controlled by a class of hypothalamic hormones called releasing hormones, produced in the hypothalamus. For example, Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) from the hypothalamus stimulates the release of LH from the anterior pituitary.
