Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome: A case report
Radiology Case Reports, 2023 Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a rare congenital abnormality. It comprises the triad of thin or interrupted pituitary stalk, aplasia or hypoplasia of anterior pituitary gland, and absent or ectopic posterior pituitary gland.

BMC Medical Imaging, 2023 Background Although it is generally thought that disturbance of perfusion in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland leads to complete or partial hypopituitarism, the gadolinium (Gd) enhancement findings on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of patients ...

Lymphocytic infundibuloneurohypophysitis: A rare case report
MAMC Journal of Medical Sciences, 2015 Lymphocytic hypophysitis is a neuroendocrine disorder characterized by autoimmune infiammation of the pituitary gland with various degrees of pituitary dysfunction. Coexistence of other autoimmune conditions is reported in the vast majority of cases. The

Glucocorticoids rapidly inhibit oxytocin-stimulated adrenocorticotropin release from rat anterior pituitary cells, without modifying intracellular calcium transients [PDF]
, 1993 Glucocorticoid hormones suppress the secretion of ACTH evoked by secretagogues such as CRF and arginine vasopressin. In this study, we investigated the effects of glucocorticoids on ACTH release induced by oxytocin (OT) and on intracellular free calcium ...

Molecular and cellular pathogenesis of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma. [PDF]
, 2015 Adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas (ACPs) are the most common pituitary tumours in children. Although histologically benign, these are clinically aggressive tumours, difficult to manage and associated with poor quality of life for the patients.

Augmented Hypothalamic Corticotrophin-Releasing Hormone mRNA and Corticosterone Responses to Stress in Adult Rats Exposed to Perinatal Hypoxia [PDF]
, 2007 Stressful events before or just after parturition alter the subsequent phenotypical response to stress in a general process termed programming. Hypoxia during the period before and during parturition, and in the postnatal period, is one of the most ...

Oxytocin at physiological concentrations evokes adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) release from corticotrophs by increasing intracellular free calcium mobilized mainly from intracellular stores. Oxytocin displays synergistic or additive effects on ACTH-releasing factor or arginine vasopressin-induced ACTH secretion, respectively [PDF]
, 1992 The potency of oxytocin (OT) in evoking ACTH secretion by isolated, superfused rat adenohypophyseal corticotrophs and its enhancement by CRF and arginine vasopressin (AVP) were analyzed.
