Hypopituitarism and atherosclerosis
Annals of Medicine, 2001 In the last decade, retrospective cohort data has provided evidence of premature atherosclerosis in patients with hypopituitarism which may account for the recently observed increased death rate from vascular events in these patients. The exact mechanism(s) for such propensity to atherosclerotic vascular disease is not yet completely clear.

Genetic causes of hypopituitarism
Archives of Medical Science, 2019 Hypopituitarism in neonates is rare, but has life-threatening complications if untreated. This review describes the features of hypopituitarism and the evidence for which infants in whom a genetic cause should be suspected.
