Most pituitary tumors are adenomas that develop in the adenohypophysis (the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland), which is composed of six epithelial cell types that secrete peptide hormones.

(3) After all of the AVP stored in the posterior pituitary gland has been released, a third phase of diabetes insipidus develops if >80-90% of the AVP-secreting neuronal cell bodies in the ...

The authors concluded that the absence of the pituitary gland did not modify the response to sodium restriction. Four of the 7 patients studied by them were maintained on 50 to 75 mg. of cortisone ...

Future research should integrate multi-dimensional markers (such as oxidative stress indicators, vascular elasticity measures, and thyroid antibody status) and adopt longitudinal study designs to more ...

This important study identifies species- and sex-specific neuronal cell types and gene expression in the preoptic area (POA) to help understand the evolutionary divergence of social behaviors. The ...

The analysis of tissue gene expression was performed by the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Portal (29). We selected tissue from different brain regions, namely cerebellum, cerebellar hemisphere, ...
