When there’s not enough energy available, the hypothalamus signals the pituitary gland to release ____

A	thyroxine
B	thyroid stimulating hormone
C	hormones
D	testosterone

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyperprolactinemia can be caused by hypothyroidism. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus stimulates prolactin and TSH release.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hyperthyroidism occurs when there is excessive thyroid hormone synthesis or release.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your hypothalamus makes the following hormones to communicate with and stimulate your pituitary gland: Corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH). Dopamine. Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH).

Detailed explanation-4: -The pituitary gland and hypothalamus both control the thyroid. When thyroid hormone levels drop too low, the hypothalamus secretes TSH Releasing Hormone (TRH), which alerts the pituitary to produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). The thyroid responds to this chain of events by producing more hormones.
