Estrogens sensitize anterior pituitary gland to apoptosis [PDF]
Tissue homeostasis results from a balance between cell proliferation and cell death by apoptosis. Estradiol affects proliferation as well as apoptosis in hormone-dependent tissues.

ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC STUDIES OF THE ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND [PDF]
Technical methods for preparation of thin sections suitable for electron microscopy, while exacting, have been developed to a point of useful application. A series of electron micrographs from such sections of the anterior lobe of the pituitary glands of normal female rats are presented.

Arterial supply of the human anterior pituitary gland.
The vascular anatomy of the anterior lobe (AL) of 182 previously injected human pituitary glands was examined. Three different techniques of injection using India ink and acrylic paints were performed to establish a direct arterial supply to the AL.

Brain magnetic resonance imaging predictors in anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor encephalitis
Abstract Objective Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis are nonspecific and rarely have obvious associations with clinical characteristics and outcomes. This study aimed to comprehensively describe the MRI features of patients with NMDAR encephalitis, examine their associations with ...

Prolactin is a polypeptide hormone that is synthesized in and secreted from the lactotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland. We are now aware that synthesis and secretion of prolactin is not restricted to the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, but ...

Development of the Pituitary Gland.
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.

Abstract Based on histological cross‐sections, the chondrocranium of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) was reconstructed, described, and compared with other turtles. It differs from that of other turtle chondrocrania by possessing elongated, slightly dorsally orientated nasal capsules with three dorsolateral foramina, which might be ...

Come together over me: Cells that form the dermatocranium and chondrocranium in mice
Abstract Most bone develops either by intramembranous ossification where bone forms within a soft connective tissue, or by endochondral ossification by way of a cartilage anlagen or model. Bones of the skull can form endochondrally or intramembranously or represent a combination of the two types of ossification.

Data-based Model Identification of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Thyroid Complex [PDF]
The thyroid gland, in conjunction with the pituitary and the hypothalamus, forms a regulated system due to their mutual influence through released hormones. The equilibrium point of this system, commonly referred to as the "set point", is individually determined.

High-resolution DCE-MRI of the pituitary gland using radial k-space acquisition with compressed sensing reconstruction [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The pituitary gland is located outside of the blood-brain barrier. Dynamic T1 weighted contrast enhanced sequence is considered to be the gold standard to evaluate this region.
