background: adiponectin is one of the most important adipocytokines that regulate male and female fertility via adipor1 and adipor2 receptors. recently expression of adiponectin system and its negative regulatory role on hypothalamus-pituitary axis have been confirmed. objectives: no information is available about the expression pattern of adiponectin and its receptors in hypothalamus-pituitary...

abstract a 71-year-old male with a long history of diabetes and hypertension was admitted with mild azotemia and recurrent hyponatremia. he was diagnosed with a pituitary gland cystic tumor. on careful evaluation, his hyponatremia was found to be due to cerebral salt wasting. the patient made a full recovery following treatment for cerebral salt wasting.

Background: Pituitary Radiological study is important to evaluate hypothalamus/hypophisis axis problems. There are studies that describe correlation between pituitary radiological abnormalities and hipopituitarism at general population, but few neuroradiological after traumatic brain injury in pediatric and, when they do, it´s only isolated case reports.

Precocious puberty is defined as the appearance of clinical signs before age 8 years in girls and 9 boys. The central origin due to a premature activation hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis from which tumor pathology must be eliminated each case. It distinguished early peripheral independent hypothalamic-pituitary stimulation adrenal or gonadal origin. In boys, precocious most often there high...

The pituitary gonadotropic adenoma is an developed́ in the cells of anterior pituitary. It can be secreting releasing excess blood and urine; products its secretion are gonadostimulines (F.S.H. L.H.) or non-secreting this case only histo- cytochemical analysis will able to allow identification. We report two cases macroadenoma with LH-FSH immunostaining. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging reve...

in this study, five carp pituitary glands were collected and dispersed enzymatically and mechanically.then, the cells were cultivated as monolayer in mem (minimum essential medium eagle). the culture mediawere collected after 72 h and frozen at -20°c. carp ovarian follicles also were separated mechanically andincubated in bss (basic salt solution) cortland medium in 24-well microplates for 48 h...

Background and Aim: Over the past 2 decades, endoscopy has become an integral part of the surgical repertoire for pituitary procedures and over the past several decades, the endoscopic endonasal trans sphenoidal approach (EETA) has gradually become an accepted option for pituitary tumors with intra-,supra-,and para-sellar location and extension, because of its minimal invasiveness and high effi...
