60 YEARS OF NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY: The hypothalamo-GH axis: the past 60 years.
At the time of the publication of Geoffrey Harris's monograph on 'Neural control of the pituitary gland' 60 years ago, the pituitary was recognised to produce a growth factor, and extracts administered to children with hypopituitarism could accelerate growth. Since then our understanding of the neuroendocrinology of the GH axis has included identification of the key central components of the GH...
متن کامل60 YEARS OF NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY: The hypothalamo-prolactin axis
The hypothalamic control of prolactin secretion is different from other anterior pituitary hormones, in that it is predominantly inhibitory, by means of dopamine from the tuberoinfundibular dopamine neurons. In addition, prolactin does not have an endocrine target tissue, and therefore lacks the classical feedback pathway to regulate its secretion. Instead, it is regulated by short loop feedbac...
متن کامل60 YEARS OF NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY: Acromegaly.
Acromegaly (ACM) is a chronic, progressive disorder caused by the persistent hypersecretion of GH, in the vast majority of cases secreted by a pituitary adenoma. The consequent increase in IGF1 (a GH-induced liver protein) is responsible for most clinical features and for the systemic complications associated with increased mortality. The clinical diagnosis, based on symptoms related to GH exce...
متن کامل60 YEARS OF NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY: MEMOIR: working in the 'Huts' with the professor: the first Maudsley years.
During the first 2 years of Geoffrey Harris’ tenure as Fitzmary Professor of Physiology, University of London (1952–1962), I was one of the four fellows in his laboratory based in the ‘Huts’, two prefabricated buildings on the grounds of Maudsley Hospital, South London. Peter Fawcett, a later collaborator, remarked, ‘It was an enigma to me why this eminent man should be stuck in a bunch of ex-a...
متن کاملMusing on the Past 60 Years in Electrical Engineering Education
Having been in higher education, first as a student, then as a faculty member, for half a century gives me personal experience with the profound changes that occurred in engineering education in later half of the 20th century and, now, the first decades of the 21st century. After World War II, the fact that many engineering contributions to the war were made by scientists and mathematicians cau...
