This is the only information I could find with a date:

Andrew Schally and Roger Guillemin, who isolated, characterized, and sequenced the hypothalamic regulatory hormones. The first hypothalamic regulatory hormone to be sequenced was TRH (a tripeptide), the second was gonadotropin-releasing hormone (a decapeptide), and the third was somatostatin with 14 amino acids.
