Patients with idiopathic hyperprolactinemia have a higher risk for anterior pituitary hormone deficiency that may require hormone therapy compared with patients with microprolactinoma, study data show ...

Pituitary tumors exhibit a spectrum of biology, with variable growth and hormonal behaviors. They therefore provide an opportunity to examine pathogenetic mechanisms that underlie the neoplastic ...

The pituitary gland, known as the master gland, helps regulate most of the body's other glands. It has two main parts, the anterior lobe and posterior lobe, each with specific functions and roles in ...

THE elucidation of the major functions of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland during the past four decades is a monument of scientific achievement. In a microcosmic sense its history parallels ...

DURING our investigation of the active principles of the pituitary anterior lobe and of the gonadotropic hormone from pregnancy urine, we established the fact that the gonad-stimulating factors of the ...
