Which glands are under negative feedback by hypothalamus?

[aardvarkm12]

So I understand there is a hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis, and there is a hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. Does this mean ALL hormones secreted by the thyroid, and ALL hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex glands are under negative feedback control by the hypothalamus?

Are there any other glands under negative feedback control by the hypothalamus that we need to know?

Are ALL hormones secreted by the pituitary also under negative feedback by the hypothalamus?

Thanks!

For the purpose of the MCAT you can assume that ALL of the hormones that are part of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (thyroid hormone, growth hormone, etc) negatively feed back at both the levels of the hypothalamus and pituitary.

Just as an aside an interesting thing to note is that the hypothalamus inhibits the release of prolactin from the anterior pituitary via dopamine while all the other pituitary hormones are under positive control via the hypothalamic releasing hormones.
