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.

Virus Injection to the Pituitary via Transsphenoidal Approach and the Innervation of Anterior and Posterior Pituitary of Rat

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
The theory holds that the anterior pituitary in mammals receives humoral regulation. Previous studies have reported that the pars distalis of the anterior pituitary of several mammalian species contains substance P-, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)

The evaluation of morphometric characteristics of the pituitary gland and its adjacent tissues to elaborate a dosimetric model

Радиационная гигиена
The pituitary gland exposure can lead to increase the risk of hormone-dependent cancers, such as breast cancer. The pituitary gland is located in the pituitary fossa of the sphenoid bone and can be exposed due to bone-seeking radionuclides such as 90Sr ...

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

The Role of Adipokines in the Control of Pituitary Functions

Animals
The pituitary gland is a key endocrine gland in all classes of vertebrates, including mammals. The pituitary gland is an important component of hypothalamus–pituitary–target organ hormonal regulatory axes and forms a functional link between the nervous ...

Assessment of the role of intracranial hypertension and stress on hippocampal cell apoptosis and hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction after TBI

Scientific Reports, 2017
In recent years, hypopituitarism caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been explored in many clinical studies; however, few studies have focused on intracranial hypertension and stress caused by TBI. In this study, an intracranial hypertension model,
