Growth hormone secretion is regulated by negative feedback, three feedback loops including both long and short loops are involved,
a. GHRH inhibits its own secretion from the hypothalamus via an ultrashort-loop feedback.
b. Somatomedins, which are by-products of the growth hormone action on target tissues, inhibit secretion of growth hormone by the anterior pituitary.
c. Both growth hormone and somatomedins stimulate the secretion of somatostatin by the hypothalamus.
d. SRIF is also secreted by the hypothalmus and acts on the somatotrophs to stimulate growth hormone secretion.
