Assessment of hypothalamic pituitary function in endocrine disease.
The insulin test carried out with adequate safeguards under standardized conditions yields valuable information regarding hypothalamic and pituitary function when plasma levels of sugar, cortisol, and growth hormone are determined. The use of a test based on the plasma cortisol response to the infusion of lysine-vasopressin, a polypeptide with a corticotrophin-releasing action, is also of value...
متن کاملHypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Endocrine System in the Hagfish
The hypothalamic-pituitary system is considered to be a seminal event that emerged prior to or during the differentiation of the ancestral agnathans (jawless vertebrates). Hagfishes as one of the only two extant members of the class of agnathans are considered the most primitive vertebrates known, living or extinct. Accordingly, studies on their reproduction are important for understanding the ...
متن کاملSecretion of hypothalamic and pituitary hormones by non-endocrine tumours.
That non-endocrine cancers can produce clinical syndromes of apparent hormone excess has been known for some time (Rees and Ratcliffe, 1974). Now there is ample clinical and biocheinical evidence that many polypeptide hormones may be produced and released by human tumours which originate in tissues which are not normally regarded as sites for the physiological production of the hormones. In som...
متن کاملThe origins of the vertebrate hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) endocrine systems: new insights from lampreys.
The acquisition of a hypothalamic-pituitary axis was a seminal event in vertebrate evolution leading to the neuroendocrine control of many complex functions including growth, reproduction, osmoregulation, stress and metabolism. Lampreys as basal vertebrates are the earliest evolved vertebrates for which there are demonstrated functional roles for two gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRHs) that...
متن کاملHypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal activity among Armenian adolescents with PTSD symptoms.
This study evaluated basal levels and responsiveness to exercise of plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), growth hormone (GH) and cortisol among adolescents from two differentially exposed groups 6 1/2 years after the 1988 earthquake in Armenia. Severity of total PTSD and Category C and D symptoms were negatively correlated with baseline cortiso...
