Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH) is a tripeptide hormone produced in the hypothalamus. It plays a crucial role in the regulation of the thyroid gland by stimulating the release of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary gland. This, in turn, stimulates the thyroid gland to produce and release thyroid hormones, which are essential for metabolism, growth, and development.
