Advances in computational modeling approaches in pituitary gonadotropin signaling [PDF]
Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery, 1-15. (2018), 2018 Pituitary gonadotropins play an essential and pivotal role in the control of human and animal reproduction within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The computational modeling of pituitary gonadotropin signaling encompasses phenomena of different natures such as the dynamic encoding of gonadotropin secretion, and the intracellular cascades ...

Laser Doppler holography of the anterior segment for blood flow imaging, eye tracking, and transparency assessment [PDF]
, 2021 Laser Doppler holography (LDH) is a full-field blood flow imaging technique able to reveal human retinal and choroidal blood flow with high temporal resolution. We here report on using LDH in the anterior segment of the eye without making changes to the instrument.

Pituitary Adenoma Volumetry with 3D Slicer [PDF]
(2012) PLoS ONE 7(12): e51788, 2012 In this study, we present pituitary adenoma volumetry using the free and open source medical image computing platform for biomedical research: (3D) Slicer. Volumetric changes in cerebral pathologies like pituitary adenomas are a critical factor in treatment decisions by physicians and in general the volume is acquired manually.

Estrogens induce expression of membrane-associated estrogen receptor α isoforms in lactotropes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Estrogens are key to anterior pituitary function, stimulating hormone release and controlling cell fate to achieve pituitary dynamic adaptation to changing physiological conditions. In addition to their classical mechanism of action through intracellular

Pituitary hyposignal characteristic of hemochromatosis on MRI
Clinical Case Reports, 2023 Pituitary haemochromatosis is an endocrine disorder caused by the accumulation of iron due to a lack of absorption during haemochromatosis. The characteristic appearance on MRI is a T2 and T2* hyposignal of the anterior pituitary gland without ...

Mathematical Modelling of Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Dynamics: A Review, a Novel Approach, and Future [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 A novel mathematical model for the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis is proposed to comprehend the oscillations observed in hormone concentration and potential dysfunction within the HPA axis in stressful situation. This model integrates impact of hippocampal receptors on the secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), an additional ...
