| 31. | There is another facilitatory area in the posterior hypothalamus.
|
| 32. | Within the brain, the autonomic nervous system is regulated by the hypothalamus.
|
| 33. | It can also be caused by diseases affecting the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.
|
| 34. | Leptin is produced in the white adipose tissue and signals to the hypothalamus.
|
| 35. | Normally the hypothalamus releases a hormone called gonadotropin releasing hormone ( GnRH ).
|
| 36. | The GnRH is released by the hypothalamus by specialised nerve cells or neurones.
|
| 37. | Rising levels of thyroid hormone feed back to inhibit the pituitary and hypothalamus.
|
| 38. | It is expressed in particular in the lateral hypothalamus.
|
| 39. | The lateral hypothalamus ( LH ) is involved in the initiation of eating.
|
| 40. | Now we know some of the potential sites of the problem in the hypothalamus.
