Thyrotropin-releasing hormone is a hypothalamic tripeptide that plays a role in stress response in animals (Arunabha Ray, 2006).

thyrotropin-releasing hormone in rats," Neuroendocrinology, vol.
Effect of serotonine on the release of
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone from the rat retina in vitro.
Thyroid function is mediated centrally via
thyrotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) released from the hypophysis gland.
Body mass, body fat mass, rest metabolic rate (RMR), nonshivering thermogenesis (NST), energy intake, body compositions, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity and uncoupling protein1 (UCP1) content of brown adipose tissue (BAT), and serum triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), leptin levels, hypothalamic
thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) levels were measured.

thyrotropin-releasing hormone and substance P immunoreactive azonal innervation of the ventrolateral dendritic bundle in the cat sacral spinal cord: an ultrastructural study.
These include a familial association, phase advance of REM sleep, diurnal variation, effects on thyroid-stimulating hormone and
thyrotropin-releasing hormone, elevated levels of plasma corticotrophin-releasing factor, sleep deprivation response, response to antidepressants, and treatment-emergent hypomania.
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone regulation of human TSHss expression: role of a pituitary-specific transcription factor (Pit-1/GHF-1) and potential interaction with a thyroid hormone-inhibitory element.
Transcriptional regulation of the
thyrotropin-releasing hormone gene by leptin and melanocortin signaling.
Thus, we suspected thyroid hormone resistance in this patient and performed a
thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test.
Several different hypotheses have been suggested, including localised cerebral oedema, autoimmune vasculitis, toxic effect of
thyrotropin-releasing hormone, and an immunopathological basis similar to relapsing acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
