Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons in the lateral hypothalamus involved in initiation of complex feeding behaviors secrete MCH (melanin concentrating hormone) and orexins (hypocretins). MCH promotes feeding and decreases energy expenditure while orexins regulate the sleep-wake cycle and promote arousal, appetite, and reward-seeking behavior. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) are not secreted by neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and are not directly involved in feeding behavior.
