Anterior Pituitary Hormones

10/26/2012 - "By raising awareness with general practitioners of pituitary disease, with potential for deficiency of other anterior pituitary hormones, would focus more specific questioning on related symptoms."
01/01/1988 - "We conclude that no specific or etiologic abnormalities are present in the pituitary glands of subjects with anorexia nervosa and that the altered secretion of adenohypophyseal hormones often noted in patients with this disorder cannot be attributed to a primary pituitary disorder."
07/01/1981 - "Plasma ACTH concentrations following metyrapone were significantly lower in patients with pituitary disease with no evidence of anterior pituitary hormone deficiency (mean 90.0 +/- SD 63.9 ng/l) when compared with normal individuals (mean 182.5 +/- SD 14.1 ng/l, P leads than 0.01) but significantly greater than in patients with pituitary disease in whom a deficiency of one or more anterior pituitary hormones was demonstrated (mean 50.8 +/- SD 14.1 ng/l, P less than 0.01). "

06/01/2013 - "In addition, all null cell adenomas (negative for all anterior pituitary hormones) were positive for SF-1 and negative for Pit-1, indicating that they originated from the gonadotroph cell lineage. "
06/01/2001 - "To elucidate the role of PrRP in regulating human anterior pituitary hormones, we used human PrRP-31 in primary cultures of human pituitary tissues, including fetal (20--27 weeks gestation) and normal adult pituitaries, as well as PRL- and GH-secreting adenomas. "
07/01/1993 - "After successful removal of the adrenal adenoma, all patients developed postoperative hypoadrenocorticism and recovered all impaired anterior pituitary hormones within a period of 3 months. "
09/01/1988 - "Only 11 of the 31 investigated adenomas (35%) showed negative immunostaining for all major anterior pituitary hormones. "
02/01/1986 - "As the nonfunctional adenomas are devoid of anterior pituitary hormones they have been called "null cell" adenomas. "

09/01/1991 - "In acromegaly, irrespective of the presence of hyperprolactinemia, one can observe dysfunction of the central dopaminergic system (DAE) and DAE-regulation of adenohypophyseal hormones. "
02/21/1975 - "In patients with florid acromegaly there occurs during administration of GHRIH a marked fall in the raised STH level without influencing the basal level of the other anterior-pituitary hormones. "
06/01/1984 - "In this study, the effects of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a newly isolated hypothalamic hormone, in addition to TRH and LH-RH, on plasma levels of GH and the other anterior pituitary hormones were evaluated in 6 patients with acromegaly. "
12/01/2015 - "They may be clinically silent or secrete anterior pituitary hormones in excess such as prolactin, growth hormone (GH), or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) causing diseases like prolactinoma, acromegaly, Cushing's disease or rarely thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or gonadotropins (LH, FSH). "

12/22/1983 - "Primary hypogonadism was confirmed by endocrinologic investigations; anterior pituitary hormones were normally released. "
01/01/1995 - "This study evaluated in male patients with idiopathic hypothalamic hypogonadism the effect of pulsatile GnRH therapy or testosterone replacement on the response of all anterior pituitary hormones to adequate dynamic stimuli. "
09/01/1991 - "Involvement of the hypothalamus and pituitary can cause primary polydipsia and disordered regulation of thirst; diabetes insipidus, impaired secretion of anterior pituitary hormones (with clinically apparent hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, hypoadrenalism, or impaired growth), and increases in serum prolactin may also result. "

02/01/1996 - "The anti-dopaminergic effects of terguride observed in the motor system in animal studies, as well as in levodopa-induced dyskinesias in parkinsonian patients, could not be observed in the case of the dopaminergic control of anterior pituitary hormones under the conditions of this study."
