The secretion of the following pituitary hormones is controlled by hypothalamus
  1. Thyrotropin (TSH) and cortisol
  2. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and progesterone
  3. Corticotropin (ACTH) growth hormone (GH) and vasopressin
  4. Luteinizing hormone (LH), corticotropin (ACTH) and thyrotropin (TSH)

A
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and progesterone
B
Luteinizing hormone (LH), corticotropin (ACTH) and thyrotropin (TSH)
C
Thyrotropin (TSH) and cortisol
D
Corticotropin (ACTH) growth hormone (GH) and vasopressin
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Option A is incorrect as cortisol is the glucorticoid released in response to stress by adrenal cortex, not be pituitary gland. Option B is incorrect as progesterone is the female sex hormone which is released by ovaries, not by pituitary gland. Option C is incorrect as vasopressin is produced by hypothalamus but is stored and released in to blood stream via posterior pituitary. LH, ACTH and TSH are regulated by hypothalamic releasing hormones and hypothalamic inhibiting hormones via negative feedback control mechanism. This makes option D correct.
