Electrophysiological recording of hypothalamic brain regions in vivo using the transpharyngeal surgical approach in the rat. [PDF]

J Neuroendocrinol
Abstract Transpharyngeal (ventral) surgery in urethane‐anaesthetised rats allows in vivo electrophysiological recording and/or imaging from superficial hypothalamic brain regions and from the pituitary gland. This surgical approach leaves the whole brain intact, providing a stable platform to study single or multiple identified cells over several hours

Correlation of 3D MRI-Derived Adenohypophysis Volume With Height and Peak GH in Peripubertal Children. [PDF]

Brain Behav
This study found that the volume of the adenohypophysis has a strong correlation with height and has a certain weak correlation with GH maximum value. The volume of the adenophypophysis not only reflects the secretion of GH, but may also be closely related to the secretion of other hormones, playing a key role in height growth.

Recurrent Hypoglycaemia Leading to Early Diagnosis of Septo-Optic Dysplasia in a Small-for-Gestational-Age Infant-A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Septo‐optic dysplasia (SOD) is a rare condition with highly heterogenous clinical manifestations and can be a diagnostic challenge. It can present with pituitary hormone deficiencies, growth failure, visual impairment, and neurological symptoms. SOD can be diagnosed at different time points—from the prenatal period to childhood. Our team cared

Potential role of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 2 alpha in secretory activity of endocrine cells in mouse adenohypophysis [PDF]

Open Veterinary Journal, 2019
The peptide hormones of the adenohypophysis are produced by proteolytic processing of their prohormone precursors. Cathepsin L is known to function as a major proteolytic enzyme involved in the production of the peptide hormones.

Silver Lining in the Dark Clouds: Radiological Resolution of Non-Functional Giant Pituitary Adenoma after Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury

Juvenis Scientia, 2023
Tumors of pituitary are considered relatively rare. Giant adenomas of this gland further add in rarity. Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is an unusual event, which may occur as a result of hemorrhage, necrosis and/or infarction within the tumor and/or adjacent ...

Direct and Indirect Effects of Sex Steroids on Gonadotrope Cell Plasticity in the Teleost Fish Pituitary

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
The pituitary gland controls many important physiological processes in vertebrates, including growth, homeostasis, and reproduction. As in mammals, the teleost pituitary exhibits a high degree of plasticity.

Effect of pituitary‐dependent hypercortisolism on the survival of dogs treated with radiotherapy for pituitary macroadenomas

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2023
Background Radiotherapy (RT) is an effective treatment for dogs presented with neurologic signs caused by pituitary tumors. However, its impact on the outcome of concurrent pituitary‐dependent hypercortisolism (PDH) is controversial. Objectives Determine

The role of apoptosis in early embryonic development of the adenohypophysis in rats

Head & Face Medicine, 2008
Background Apoptosis is involved in fundamental processes of life, like embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, or immune defense. Defects in apoptosis cause or contribute to developmental malformation, cancer, and degenerative disorders.

Effects of Melatonin on Anterior Pituitary Plasticity: A Comparison Between Mammals and Teleosts

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Melatonin is a key hormone involved in the photoperiodic signaling pathway. In both teleosts and mammals, melatonin produced in the pineal gland at night is released into the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, providing rhythmic information to the whole ...

Chromogranin A in the olfactory system of the rat [PDF]

, 1990
The olfactory bulb of the rat contains chromogranin A at a similar level as the adrenal gland or the hypophysis as revealed by immunoblots. Olfactory chromogranin A also displays the same size as chromogranin A of endocrine cells.
