Unmasking other pituitary deficits during growth hormone replacement therapy.

چکیده
Hypothalamic-pituitary system represents a complex neuroendocrine unit that exerts its influence on the whole organism, by stimulating the target endocrine glands. In turn, the feedback of peripheral hormones strictly controls hypothalamicpituitary activity. In particular, the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor I (GH-IGF-I axis) plays an important role in modulating other hypothalamic-pituitary axes.
