Benzodiazepines and anterior pituitary function
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2002Benzodiazepines (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

The human anterior pituitary gland contains at least five distinct hormone-producing cell populations, expressing six different hormones (Table 1): pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).

Ghrelin and Anterior Pituitary Function
2010Ghrelin, 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.

Neuropeptides in anterior pituitary development
International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 2003AbstractRecent 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 ...

Estrogens exert a rapid apoptotic action in anterior pituitary cells.
American Journal of Physiology. Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2009It is now accepted that estrogens not only stimulate lactotrope proliferation but also sensitize anterior pituitary cells to proapoptotic stimuli. In addition to their classical mechanism of action through binding to intracellular estrogen receptors (ERs)

Hidden face of the anterior pituitary
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2002The 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.

Endocrinology, 1931
As our knowledge of endocrine glands increases it becomes more and more evident that the number of active principles is very much greater than had formerly been supposed. The separation of two hormones from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland (1) stimulated speculation along this line but we must not allow ourselves to jump at the conclusion that
