Pituitary Hormones

Hormones secreted by the PITUITARY GLAND including those from the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis), the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis), and the ill-defined intermediate lobe. Structurally, they include small peptides, proteins, and glycoproteins. They are under the regulation of neural signals (NEUROTRANSMITTERS) or neuroendocrine signals (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES) from the hypothalamus as well as feedback from their targets such as ADRENAL CORTEX HORMONES; ANDROGENS; ESTROGENS.

1.	Pituitary Neoplasms (Pituitary Adenoma) 07/01/1982 - "[Clinical studies on pituitary adenoma with special reference to the dynamics of pituitary hormones]." 07/29/2021 - "Plurihormonal pituitary adenomas are a unique type of pituitary adenomas that secrete two or more pituitary hormones normally associated with separate cell types that have different immunocytochemical and ultrastructural features. " 07/14/2021 - "Patients with pituitary adenomas undergoing transsphenoidal surgery require pre- and post-surgery examination of pituitary hormones. " 05/01/2021 - "The 2017 WHO classification of pituitary tumors is still based on structural analyses and expression of various pituitary hormones. " 02/28/2021 - "A silent pituitary adenoma (SPA) is characterized by the expression of pituitary hormones, detected by immunohistochemical staining, in the absence of clinical signs or symptoms of hormonal excess. "
2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2021 - "The IHC study of PTFs allowed reclassification of 82% of tumors that were negative for all pituitary hormones, with 21 positive cases for SF1 (reclassified as gonadotroph tumors), 1 positive case for TPIT (reclassified as a corticotroph tumor), and 4 positive cases for PIT1. " 03/01/2023 - "The effect of endoscopic transsphenoidal somatotroph tumors resection on pituitary hormones: systematic review and meta-analysis." 01/01/2018 - "IHC evaluation of tumor samples from two patients (a responder and a non-responder) revealed positive immunostaining for PRL and SSTR5 but not for other pituitary hormones or for SSTR2. " 05/01/2017 - "The tumors were characterized by immunohistochemistry for pituitary hormones, cytokeratins, Pit-1, and the neuronal markers NeuN, neurofilaments (NFP), and MAP2. " 01/01/2017 - "Although the role of these pituitary hormones in breast cancers has been studied, it has not been investigated extensively. "
3.	Adenoma (Adenomas) 01/01/2001 - "The aim of our study was to examine nonfunctioning adenomas by ISH for demonstration of mRNAs for all pituitary hormones. " 01/01/2020 - "The adenomas were initially diagnosed and classified by histology and immunohistochemistry for all pituitary hormones and two of them were examined by electron microscopy. " 09/01/2012 - "Furthermore, recent reports suggest that 31% to 36% of adenomas may show evidence of secretion of multiple pituitary hormones. " 08/01/2009 - "It was clinically a nonfunctioning adenoma, which was also negative for pituitary hormones by immunohistochemistry. " 07/01/2003 - "The sub-classification of adenomas depends on the methods used, in particular the immunostaining for pituitary hormones. "
4.	Hypothyroidism 04/01/2019 - "Central hypothyroidism is uncommon and may be associated with other congenital syndromes and deficiencies of other pituitary hormones. " 12/01/2018 - "The present review thus aims at describing central hypothyroidism, by an overview of interactions of hypothyroidism with other pituitary hormones, diagnosing/testing for central hypothyroidism, and focusing on consequences of undertreatment. " 01/01/2017 - "Because hypothyroidism leads to growth defects and premature death in mice, we assayed for changes in thyroid and pituitary hormones. " 04/01/2010 - "Central hypothyroidism (Central H) is mainly due to acquired lesions, either in the pituitary, the hypothalamus or both, and in such cases it is usually associated with deficient secretion of ther pituitary hormones. " 08/01/1995 - "Analysis of the results led us to conclude that although the absolute weight of sex organs tended to decrease in hypothyroid animals, the relative weights were equal or higher than control, suggesting that the development of these organs were not affected by hypothyroidism; the androgenic activity of hypothyroid rat testes were preserved; basal plasma levels of pituitary hormones were similar in control and hypothyroid groups; the pulsatile LH secretion showed a decrease in the number of pulses, nadir mean and total LH secretion in hypothyroid animals. "
5.	Hypogonadism (Hypergonadotropic Hypogonadism) 05/01/2008 - "Patients with SOX2 mutations often manifest the unusual phenotype of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, with sparing of other pituitary hormones despite anterior pituitary hypoplasia. " 10/01/2018 - "Surgery improved optic chiasm compression, PRL level and central hypogonadism but, not surprisingly, failed to normalize other pituitary hormones and/or eliminate need for DA therapy." 02/01/2010 - "Increasing opioid abuse primarily leads to hypogonadism but may also affect the secretion of other pituitary hormones. " 02/01/2022 - "Isolated Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (IHH) is a clinical syndrome that results from gonadal failure due to abnormal pituitary gonadotropin levels, in the presence of normal baseline and reserve testing of the remaining pituitary hormones. " 12/01/2016 - "In secondary hypogonadism measurement of prolactin is always necessary, and measurement of other pituitary hormones, along with pituitary imaging, may be indicated. "
