Pituitary hormonal profile in menopause

Maturitas, 1979
Abstract The hormonal profile of pituitary hormones was studied by measuring serum FSH, LH, TSH, prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) in a series of postmenopausal women 50–85 yr old who were at least 1 yr postmenopausal. In 116 women mean (±SD) plasma FSH and LH were 55.8 ± 22 mU/ml and 25.6 ± 13.62.

Effects of pituitary hormones on the prostate

The Prostate, 1999
Although essential, androgens alone are not sufficient to induce normal growth and functionality of the prostate. Nonandrogenic hormones must also be involved in the proliferation of the prostate cancer cells which do not respond to antiandrogenic therapy and which thus become androgen-independent.

Suppression of Pituitary Gland Hormone Content by Pituitary Tumor Hormones¹

Endocrinology, 1968
Pituitary tumors that secrete combinations of growth hormone, prolactin and ACTH were transplanted into female rats and the pituitary glands of the hosts were examined to ascertain any change in hormonal content. The size of the pituitary gland was decreased in tumor-bearing rats. Implantation of tumor MtTW5, which secretes prolactin and growth hormone,

The effects of oral melatonin on skin color and on the release of pituitary hormones.

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1977
We studied the effects of prolonged ingestion of melatonin, 1 g per day, on skin color and the serum levels of pituitary hormones in 5 human subjects with hyperpigmented skin.

Anterior Pituitary Hormones

1997
The human anterior pituitary gland contains at least five distinct hormone-producing cell populations, expressing six different hormones (Table 1): pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).

Diabetogenic action of purified anterior pituitary hormones.

Endocrinology, 1949
This communication deals with the diabetogenic action of three of the anterior pituitary hormones, namely growth hormone, adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and prolactin. Previous work has indicated that purified growth hormone is diabetogenic (Marx et

Effect of pituitary hormones upon serum free fatty acid concentration of the rabbit.

Endocrinology, 1961
A previous study showed that the injection of a crude extract of hog pituitarjr glands in the rabbit causes a 10- to 15-fold increase in the serum free fatty acid (FFA) concentration within 2 hours.

Neuroendocrine correlates of changes in brain activity thresholds by sex steroids and pituitary hormones.

Endocrinology, 1959
A neurophysiological study has been made in rabbits of the effects of sex steroids and pituitary and placcntal hormones on sex behavior and pituitary function as related to changes in thresholds of two opposing cerebral systems: the EEG arousal threshold
