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.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 02/01/2016 - "Benign tumors of the pituitary gland are the primary cause of pituitary pathology and can result in inappropriate secretion of pituitary hormones or loss of pituitary function. " 11/01/2009 - "Immunohistochemistry of the pituitary hormones was performed in the tumors. " 03/01/2009 - "As these tumors do not immunoreact for any of the established pituitary hormones, they are classified as nonsecretory. " 02/01/2008 - "One tumor was immunonegative for pituitary hormones and was diagnosed as haemangiopericytoma. " 05/30/2003 - "Histologic examination of tumor development over time revealed that increases in cell proliferation and dysplasia were accompanied by decreases in synthesis of pituitary hormones, indicating dedifferentiation of the pituitary cells. "
2.	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. " 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. " 01/01/2003 - "The remaining five adenomas were immunonegative for all the examined pituitary hormones and were diagnosed as null cell adenomas. "
3.	Hypothyroidism 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. " 12/01/1986 - "The mother of the patients, patients with congenital primary hypothyroidism, and normal healthy controls showed normal responses of pituitary hormones throughout the experiment. " 01/01/2001 - "Evaluation of pituitary hormones and magnetic resonance imaging of the pituitary unmasked findings characteristic for hypophysitis with secondary adrenal insufficiency and secondary hypothyroidism. " 09/10/2013 - "Evaluation of other pituitary hormones revealed central hypothyroidism and growth hormone deficiency. "
4.	Pituitary Neoplasms (Pituitary Adenoma) 07/01/1982 - "[Clinical studies on pituitary adenoma with special reference to the dynamics of pituitary hormones]." 08/11/2015 - "The presence of most of the pituitary hormones was confirmed by using MS/MS and pseudo-MS/MS methods, and subtyping of pituitary adenomas was performed by using principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM). " 01/01/2015 - "We identified 46 pituitary adenomas and immunohistochemically stained them with pituitary hormones, p53 and Ki-67. " 05/01/2014 - "Pituitary adenomas are usually benign monoclonal tumours presenting either due to hypersecretion of pituitary hormones, and/or due to local space occupying effects and hyposecretion of some or all of the pituitary hormones. " 05/01/2013 - "Pathology showed a pituitary adenoma with negative immunohistochemistry for pituitary hormones. "
5.	Brain Injuries (Brain Injury) 05/01/2014 - "To study the dynamic changes of pituitary hormones in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to correlate the severity and neurological outcome. " 01/01/2014 - "In the light of the recent studies it seems that traumatic brain injury-induced pituitary hormones deficiency occurs much more frequently than previously thought. " 05/01/2014 - "Dynamic pituitary hormones change after traumatic brain injury." 01/01/2012 - "Studies of traumatic brain injury from all causes have found evidence of chronic hypopituitarism, defined by deficient production of one or more pituitary hormones at least 1 year after injury, in 25-50% of cases. " 01/01/2008 - "Unlike ischemia, traumatic brain injury does not result in up-regulation of the pituitary hormones PRL and GH in cerebral cortex."
