Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Analogue

**Semantic type:** Chemical Viewed Functionally

**Definition:** Any structural or functional analogue that mimics the physiological actions of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). Although TRH analogues appear to have a minimal influence on the biosynthesis of TSH, they seem to exert various neuromodulating activities, such as central nervous system-stimulating, analeptic, analgesic, antidepressant, and neuroprotective effects.

**Synonyms:** - TRF Analog - TRH Analogue - Thyrotropin Secretagogue
