THE MOLECULAR EVOLUTION OF PITUITARY HORMONES
Biological Reviews, 1975Summary1. The pituitary hormones can be divided into 4 families; within each the members are structurally related and have probably evolved from a common ancestor by a process of gene duplication and divergence.2. Recent structural studies have revealed much about the evolution of proteins. The roles of point mutation, gene duplication and partial gene

Diagnosis and Management of Pituitary Adenomas: A Review.
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2023Importance Pituitary adenomas are neoplasms of the pituitary adenohypophyseal cell lineage and include functioning tumors, characterized by the secretion of pituitary hormones, and nonfunctioning tumors.

Dynamic pituitary hormones change after traumatic brain injury.
Neurology India, 2014OBJECTIVE To study the dynamic changes of pituitary hormones in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to correlate the severity and neurological outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Dynamic changes in the pituitary hormones were evaluated in 164 patients with TBI ...

Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary Body
New England Journal of Medicine, 1965Pituitary Peptides and Fat Mobilization The interrelation of fat mobilization and the pituitary gland has a long history beginning with the observation that hypophysectomy reduces the mobilization ...

Synthesis, transport, and release of posterior pituitary hormones.
Science, 1980Vasopressin and oxytocin are made and released by neurons of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system. Pulse labeling these neurons with radioactive amino acid indicates that the two hormones and their respective neurophysin carrier proteins are ...

Abstract: The pituitary gland is an important interface between the brain and the peripheral systems. Through the secretion of peptide hormones, the pituitary regulates the activity of the endocrine and immune systems and it controls many metabolic functions. The biosynthesis of pituitary hormones is under the control of hypothalamic factors. These

Postgraduate Medicine, 1961
The adenohypophyseal hormones influence general body growth and carbohydrate metabolism and exercise direct control on the functions of the adrenal cortex, the thyroid and the gonads. The six known hormones of the anterior pituitary are classified as metabolic and gonadotropic.In describing the biologic properties and physicochemical characteristics of

Pituitary Hormones and Ergot Alkaloids
Pharmacology, 1978From the data presented it appears that ergot drugs are both a useful tool for use in the study of neuroendocrine control of pituitary hormone secretion and a valid pharmacologic weapon for treatment of hyperprolactinemic states, GH and, probably, ACTH and MSH hypersecretion.

Hormonal Signaling and Pituitary Adenomas
Neuroendocrinology, 2007In recent years the demonstration that human pituitary adenomas are monoclonal in origin provides further evidence that pituitary neoplasia arise from the replication of a single mutated cell in which growth advantage results from either activation of proto-oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes.
