Among the endocrine glands, the pituitary is the most frequently affected in a manner giving rise to functional effects. The tendency of sarcoidosis to involve the meninges and neural structures at the base of the brain has been noted in Chapter 14. The variability of distribution and localization of hypothalamic-pituitary changes gives rise to a wide ...

Endocrine Pathology, 1995
Apoptosis or programmed cell death, is a phenomenon with ultrastructural and biochemical characteristics, which is thought to be distinctive from ordinary necrosis. Shrinkage of cells associated with crescent clumps of heterochromatin and formation of membrane-bound apoptotic bodies are thought to represent distinguishing morphologic features ...

Publisher Summary The capacity of the mammalian organism to function as an integrated unit is made possible by two principal control mechanisms, the nervous system and the endocrine system. Although the endocrine system has been traditionally regarded as a system of glands capable of releasing chemical mediators, which act on targets distant from the ...

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1974
This small handbook of endocrinology, prepared by a Yale internist and a pathologist, summarizes the interrelationship between the anatomical and functional disturbances for each organ. Written mostly on a table once used by Reverend Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), the book is described by the authors as somewhat less clever than Alice in Wonderland ...

Many of the induced changes in the endocrine system are a result of interference with feedback control mechanisms and as such are often predictable. However, some lesions also occur which are due to direct toxic effects.

STUDIES OF THE ENDOCRINE GLANDS*
Endocrinology, 1928In a recent communication one of us (Rowe, 1) has presented the details of an objective method for the differential diagnosis of endocrine disorders, together with an analysis of a series of one thousand cases to which it has been applied. The present paper deals with the results obtained in the study, by this method, of a series of cases, four hundred

By definition these are glandular organs producing secretions which pass straight into the blood stream. Because they have no ducts they are often referred to as ductless glands.

Tumours of the thyroid show a preponderance of follicular types but in other respects are similar to pattern described in other countries. Adrenal cortical tumours are rare. Phaeo-chromocytomas occur outside the adrenal more frequently than in the adrenal medulla. Autoimmune phenomena in the endocrine glands are extremely rare in Ugandan Africans.

Effects on the endocrine glands [PDF]
, 1960 Many of the changes observed by Prof. Asian in the procaine-treated old people indicate that this substance acts upon the endocrine glands. Hair growth, as already mentioned, is stimulated; some testicular function, often almost dormant, is revived; small amounts of estrogen (the female sex hormone) are found circulating in old women again (the return ...

This short chapter deals briefly with the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, endocrine cells of the pancreas, and gonadal hormones. A brief description of the origin and morphogenesis of each of these organs is given, except in the case of those already considered in earlier chapters.
