Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) is released in response to various stressors and stimulates the production and release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland, which in turn stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands. CRH does not stimulate the production of somatotropin (growth hormone), inhibit the release of thyrotropin, or stimulate insulin release from pancreatic beta cells.
