The anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis) comprises the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and is part of the endocrine system. Under the influence of the hypothalamus, the ...

Central diabetes insipidus is a rare complication of pituitary apoplexy, presenting in, it is estimated, less than 5% of cases, and is usually transient. 8 In some cases, it emerges after steroid ...

The anterior pituitary receives stimulatory or inhibitory hormonal signals from the hypothalamus. It in turn produces other stimulating or tropic hormones to be secreted into the systemic circulation.

The pituitary gland is a pea-sized endocrine gland composed of two structurally and functionally separate parts known as anterior and posterior lobes. The pituitary gland's anterior lobe secretes six ...

ThyrotropinThyrotropin is a glycoprotein secreted by specific basophils of the anterior pituitary gland.128 Although it is found in all vertebrates studied, there is evidence of some species differ ...

Researchers have found that thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), a hormone produced in the anterior pituitary gland that regulates endocrine function in the thyroid gland, can promote bone growth ...

Deficiency of all anterior-pituitary hormones occurs mainly after intensive irradiation (greater than 60 Gy) usually used to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma and skull-base tumors. 9, 11, 12, 13 ...

Pituitary tumors grow slowly and are unlikely to spread to other areas of the body. However, they can still affect how the pituitary gland functions, affecting many aspects of health and well-being.

EpCAM was not expressed on hypothalamic lineages; thus, anterior pituitary cells were successfully enriched by magnetic separation of EpCAM + cells from iPSC-derived HP organoids. The enriched ...
