Pituitary gland and pregnancy

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2004
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is central to mammalian reproductive function, including conception, pregnancy maintenance, parturition, and breastfeeding. Pregnancy is associated with substantial physiologic changes within this endocrine axis to meet the demands of pregnancy, which include support of the fetus (volume support, nutritional and ...

Vasoinhibins and the Pituitary Gland

2010
Vasoinhibins are a family of peptides that inhibit blood vessel growth, dilation, permeability, and survival. They are generated by the proteolytic cleavage of prolactin by cathepsin D, matrix metalloproteases, and bone morphogenic protein-1. Lactotropes within the anterior pituitary gland produce and release vasoinhibins.

Pituitary Gland Tumors

2005
Few human pituitary tumor cell lines have been established. This scarcity may be related to the fact that hormone production rapidly declines within weeks to months after initiation of the culture. In addition, the number of proliferating cells in pituitary adenomas is very low.

Cancer and the pituitary gland

Experientia, 1950
Ein Extrakt aus Hypophysenhinterlappen wurde gewonnen, der an Krebskranken weitgehende Verkleinerung der Tumoren und Besserung des Allgemeinzustandes erzeugt. Die beiden Wirkungen sind voneinander unabhangig und durch verschiedene Faktoren hervorgerufen. Die Hypophyse enthalt nicht nur krebserzeugende, sondern auch krebshemmende Prinzipien.

Neuroendocrinology of the Pituitary Gland

Toxicologic Pathology, 1989
The hypophysial-portal chemotransmitter hypothesis of control of the anterior pituitary was first set forth in the 1940s on the basis of physiological studies of the effects of lesions of the hypothalamus, and of section of the pituitary stalk on pituitary function.

Metastatic tumor of the pituitary gland

Neurosurgery, 1987
Abstract Although metastatic tumors of the pituitary gland and the sellar region are not common, they may radiographically mimic a pituitary tumor. Because the metastasis frequently involves the posterior lobe and because lateral extension to the cavernous sinus is common, patients may present with ptosis, diplopia, or diabetes insipidus.

Anatomy of the pituitary gland

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism
The pituitary gland, historically misconceived as a structure devoted to mucus excretion, has undergone centuries of anatomical and functional reinterpretation. From the ancient humoral theories of Galen to the molecular frameworks of modern embryology, this review offers a comprehensive historical and anatomical overview of the gland.

The Pituitary Gland.

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1985
This book, edited by Professor Hiroo Imura of Kyoto (Japan) University, is a well-organized review of several basic and clinical aspects of normal and abnormal functions of the pituitary gland. Approximately two thirds of this volume contain chapters that present the most current information on the morphology, regulation of secretory activity, and ...

Pituitary Gland Diseases

2010
Excessive secretion of pituitary hormones, as well as their deficiency, may cause a constellation of clinical and pathological manifestations involving major organ systems of the body, including the skin. There are no specific cutaneous signs or symptoms that are pathognomonic for the main manifestations of pituitary gland diseases such as ...

The Pituitary Gland

1988
The anterior pituitary gland synthesises and secretes growth hormone (hGH), prolactin (PRL), gonadotrophins (LH and FSH), thyrotrophin (TSH) and corticotrophin (ACTH).
