The hypothalamo-pituitary–gonadal axis
This review provides an outline of how our understanding of the neuroendocrine control of the hypothalamo-pituitary–gonadal axis has evolved since the publication of Geoffrey Harris’ renowned monograph in 1955. Particular attention is directed to the neurobiology underlying pulsatile GnRH release from the hypothalamus, the neuroendocrine control of ovarian cycles, puberty and seasonality of gon...
متن کاملThe hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical system.
Control of the secretion of ACTH appears to involve several mechanisms. It is dependent upon the release, from neurones in the hypothalamus, of corticotrophin releasing factor, which is probably a complex including CRF-41 and vasopressin. The secretion of the complex is influenced by various central inhibitory and excitatory nervous pathways. The releasing factor is conveyed by the hypophyseal ...
متن کاملDevelopmental Disorders of the Hypothalamo-Pituitary Axis
Short stature is defined by a height that lies <-2SDS below the mean. Recent molecular advances have led to the identification of the underlying aetiology in a number of cases that were previously believed to be “idiopathic”. This review will briefly discuss the advances in the field of pituitary development and the GH-IGF-1 axis that have led to the unravelling of the genetic basis to a number...
متن کاملPituitary Hormones: Posterior Pituitary & Anterior Pituitary
The pituitary gland, also known as hypophysis, is a small pea-sized gland about 1 cm in diameter and 0.5 to 1 gram in weight. The pituitary gland resides in a small bony cavity situated at the base of the brain, known as sella turcica, and a pituitary stalk (infundibulum) maintains a connection between the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. The secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland is und...
متن کاملAging and hormones of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis: gonadotropic axis in men and somatotropic axes in men and women.
Neuroendocrinology of the aging (male) gonadal and (male and female) somatotropic axes will be reviewed. A companion chapter discusses reproductive hormonal changes in aging women. Both the gonadal and growth-hormone/insulin-like growth factor (GH/IGF-I) axes function as ensembles. The ensembles comprise tripartite interactions among the brain (hypothalamus), anterior pituitary gland (gonadotro...
