Pituitary Hormones and Ergot Alkaloids

Pharmacology, 2008
From 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.

Anterior Pituitary Hormones

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

Hormonal Signaling and Pituitary Adenomas

Neuroendocrinology, 2007
In 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.

Hormones of the pituitary

2005
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

On the Isolation of Human Pituitary Hormones*

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1978
Six human pituitary hormones can be obtained from a single batch of human pituitary glands by the procedure described. Starting from an acetone powder of the glands, the hormones are segregated into three fractions; one containing GH and PRL, a second containing the glycoprotein hormones, and the third fraction containing smaller peptides including ...

ALLERGY TO PITUITARY CORTICOTROPHIC HORMONE

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1951
In view of the fact that the corticotrophic hormone (ACTH) is a protein, it is not surprising that hypersensitivity reactions to it would be encountered. Our early work on the repeated use of corticotrophin to prevent anaphylactic reactions in guinea pigs sensitized to horse serum indicated that the animals were being sensitized to corticotrophin.

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.
