Attenuation of gadolinium enhancement in pituitary gland on magnetic resonance imaging of patients with pediatric growth hormone deficiency

BMC Medical Imaging, 2023
Background Although it is generally thought that disturbance of perfusion in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland leads to complete or partial hypopituitarism, the gadolinium (Gd) enhancement findings on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of patients ...

Transcriptome-wide identification of preferentially expressed genes in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
To identify preferentially expressed genes in the central endocrine organs of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, we generated transcriptome-wide mRNA profiles of the mouse hypothalamus, pituitary gland and parietal cortex using serial analysis of gene

Transcriptional profiling and pathway analysis reveal differences in pituitary gland function, morphology, and vascularization in chickens genetically selected for high or low body weight

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Though intensive genetic selection has led to extraordinary advances in growth rate and feed efficiency in production of meat-type chickens, endocrine processes controlling these traits are still poorly understood. The anterior pituitary gland

Association of Pituitary Gland Volume in Adults with Body Mass Index: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]

International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery
Introduction: The pituitary gland is central to endocrine regulation influencing growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides a reliable non-invasive method for assessing pituitary morphology.

Pituitary Apoplexy May Be Mistaken for Temporal Arteritis

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2019
Pituitary apoplexy is a rare endocrine emergency, characterized by a sudden increase in pituitary gland volume secondary to acute ischaemic infarction or haemorrhage of the pituitary gland, usually in the presence of a pituitary adenoma.
