The Anterior Pituitary Gland
To my mind, the high point in the entire volume is the introductory paragraph to the set piece written by Professor Honjo, a noted molecular biologist. Here he states with elegance and eloquence the importance to a working scientist of problems in which only the barest outlines are perceived. Professor Honjo describes it far better than I can, so I quote him, in hopes that it will encourage peo...
متن کاملThe anterior pituitary gland: lessons from livestock.
There has been extensive research of the anterior pituitary gland of livestock and poultry due to the economic (agricultural) importance of physiological processes controlled by it including reproduction, growth, lactation and stress. Moreover, farm animals can be biomedical models or useful in evolutionary/ecological research. There are for multiple sites of control of the secretion of anterio...
متن کاملEstrogens sensitize anterior pituitary gland to apoptosis.
Tissue homeostasis results from a balance between cell proliferation and cell death by apoptosis. Estradiol affects proliferation as well as apoptosis in hormone-dependent tissues. In the present study, we investigated the apoptotic response of the anterior pituitary gland to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in cycling female rats, and the influence of estradiol in this response in ovariectomized (OVX)...
متن کاملDiscovery of the luteinizing hormone of the anterior pituitary gland.
IT IS NOW WIDELY KNOWN THAT normal function of the ovaries and testes is regulated by two pituitary gonadotropic hormones, the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and the luteinizing hormone (LH), which provide the one-two punch that drives gamete and gonadal hormone production. In females FSH stimulates follicular growth and maturation while LH triggers ovulation and luteinization. However, in ...
متن کاملThe Anterior Pituitary Gland - Co-Ordinating an Alphabet of Peptides
The pituitary has been described as the Master Gland, even as we progress through the contemporary era of comprehensive proteomic arrays [1, 2]. The label is a reflection of the range of the gland’s influences. The variety of contributions that the anterior pituitary gland makes to so many of the clearly observable events as well as covert metabolic processes in the body (e.g. stress, reproduct...
