Question

Which of the following is not controlled by a hypothalamic-releasing hormone?
A) ACTH
B) ADH
C) Growth hormone
D) Prolactin

Accepted Answer

ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) is not controlled by a hypothalamic-releasing hormone, but by a hypothalamic-neurohypophysial hormone (vasopressin). ACTH (adrenocorticotrophic hormone), growth hormone, and prolactin are all controlled by hypothalamic-releasing hormones.
