The other set produces hormones growth regulating, stress releasing and stimulating and inhibiting hormones are dopamine, corticotrophin-releasing hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, somatostatin, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone.

Luteinizing hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland. It is one of the main hormones that control the reproductive system.
