Intravenous administration of 50 μg or 200 μg thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) to men with common migraine elicited blunted prolactin (PRL) responses, when compared with healthy controls. The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) response was enhanced after 50 μg TRH in the migraineurs, but not after 200 μg. The physiologic TSH dose-response relationship was abolished in migraine sufferers. The data may be interpreted in the light of dopaminergic and noradrenergic supersensitivity, for PRL and TSH, respectively. The TSH response in migraine differs from the one that occurs in depression.

Ten female patients who satisfied objective criteria for the diagnosis of anorexia nervosa were given 500 ug of thyrotropin releasing hormone. Thyroid stimulating hormone and growth hormone responses were measured in duplicate by radioimmunoassay. These patients had a low normal Δ thyroid stimulating hormone but a delayed peak response. In addition, these patients had pathological growth hormone release in response to thyrotropin releasing hormone infusion. Both delayed peak thyroid stimulating hormone and growth hormone response to thyrotropin releasing hormone have been reported for patients with hypothalamic disorders.
