Development of the Pituitary Gland

Comprehensive Physiology, 2020
Abstract The development of the anterior pituitary gland occurs in distinct sequential developmental steps, leading to the formation of a complex organ containing five different cell types secreting six different hormones. During this process, the temporal and spatial expression of a cascade of signaling molecules

Notch-Dependent Pituitary SOX2+ Stem Cells Exhibit a Timed Functional Extinction in Regulation of the Postnatal Gland

Stem Cell Reports, 2015
Although SOX2+ stem cells are present in the postnatal pituitary gland, how they are regulated molecularly and whether they are required for pituitary functions remain unresolved questions.

The effects of experimentally irradiated pituitary gland on the growth of rat’s tibia, skull, maxilla and mandible [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2021
Background/Aim. The reaction of an organism to radiation depends on the level of irradiation and the sensitivity of the affected tissue cells. The biological effects on the cells and tissues are proportional to the absorbed radiation energy.

Interleukin-6 is an activator of pituitary stem cells upon local damage, a competence quenched in the aging gland

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance The pituitary is our master endocrine gland. Local damage and aging present important threats. We started to decrypt the ill-defined regulation of the gland’s stem cells, typically dormant but acutely activated upon damage.

Isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in adolescence: Do we need to measure the pituitary, stalk or other imaging markers? A retrospective magnetic resonance imaging study

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2023
Background. Rapid changes in the size of the pituitary gland occur during the pubertal period. Therefore, measuring and reporting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in adolescents with pituitary disorders can cause unease among radiologists. Our aim

Squeezing the Pituitary Gland [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2011
A 74-yr-old female presented with a 1-yr history of tiredness, dizziness, vomiting, reduced appetite, and 9 kg of weight loss. There was no history of headache, polydipsia, or polyuria. Perimetry revealed no abnormalities. Endocrine studies showed anterior pituitary failure: TSH, 1.53 mU/liter (ref. 0.30 – 4.20); serum T4, 8.4 pmol/liter (ref. 12.0 –24.
