Anterior pituitary and pancreas

American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1948
Based on a survery of the literature and his own publications the author maintains that hypo- as well as hyperpituitarism do not cause simple micro- or macrosplanchnia but a characteristic pattern of dystrophy in various organs and tissues. The islet organ shows a hypertrophic tendency in hypo-, atrophic in hyperpituitarism.

Hidden face of the anterior pituitary

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2002
The traditional view holds that the anterior pituitary is an endocrine gland with a complex and heterogeneous distribution of cells throughout the parenchyma. Thus, a long-distance mode of intraorgan communication is not usually taken into account in our understanding of pituitary functioning.

Ghrelin and Anterior Pituitary Function

2010
Ghrelin, a 28-amino-acid octanoylated peptide predominantly produced by the stomach, was discovered to be the natural ligand of the type 1a GH secretagogue receptor. Thus, it was considered as a natural GH secretagogue (GHS) additional to GHRH, although later on ghrelin has mostly been considered a major orexigenic factor.

Benzodiazepines and anterior pituitary function

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2002
Benzodiazepines (BDZ) are one of the most prescribed classes of drugs because of their marked anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant and hypnotic effects. The pharmacological actions of BDZ depend on the activation of 2 specific receptors. The central BDZ receptor, present in several areas of the central nervous system (CNS), is a component of the

Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary Body

New England Journal of Medicine, 1965

Neuropeptides in anterior pituitary development

International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 2003
AbstractRecent studies using biotechnological methods have achieved significant advances in our knowledge of molecular mechanisms underlying pituitary gland development and the differentiation of pituitary cytotypes. A large number of neuropeptides have been reported in the adult pituitary gland as well as in the central and peripheral nervous system ...

Anterior Pituitary Hormones in CSF

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1979
After the initial report by Linfoot and co-workers in 1970, 1 it has been assumed that an abnormal increase in the concentration of an anterior pituitary hormone in the CSF is indicative of suprasellar extension of the pituitary tumor producing that hormone. The report by Jordan et al in the February issue of theArchives(139:208-211, 1979) and a recent

Growth factors and the anterior pituitary

Baillière's Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1991
Normal growth and secretion in the pituitary gland are dependent upon the co-ordinated action of a large number of extracellular growth factors, neuropeptides and peripheral hormones acting on their respective cellular receptors and via complex intracellular signalling pathways.

Control of Anterior Pituitary Function

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1978
Current theory of control of anterior pituitary function was foreshadowed by two clinical observations. In 1927, Worster-Drought et al, after describing a case of probable craniopharyngioma, suggested that "the hypothalamic nuclei would appear to control, as it were, the function of the different pituitary lobes." In the 1930s clinicians at the Mayo ...
