Adrenal gland activity is evaluated by the plasma level of cortisol hormone.
This type of stimulus is called hormonal stimulation. It occurs when one hormone signals another endocrine gland to release its own hormone to regulate physiological processes in the body.
There are many hormones which stimulate activity in the ovaries.The two main ones are FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). FSH triggers the growth of an ovum, and LH is involved in causing ovulation (the release of the ovum/egg).
Growth hormone is primarily released in response to low blood glucose levels, stress, exercise, sleep, and certain amino acids. Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) from the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in response to these stimuli.
