| 31. | Acromegaly is a syndrome that results when the anterior pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone ( GH ).
|
| 32. | Additionally, in the anterior pituitary, relatively high amounts of these subunits were found in growth hormone secretory granules.
|
| 33. | Four of the six anterior pituitary hormones are tropic hormones that regulate the function of other endocrine organs.
|
| 34. | During the follicular phase, estradiol suppresses production of luteinizing hormone ( LH ) from the anterior pituitary gland.
|
| 35. | The anterior pituitary lobe produces hormones that stimulate the thyroid and the adrenal gland1 to make their own hormones.
|
| 36. | Progesterone, too, takes a tumble while the anterior pituitary gland, responsible for lactation, swells to twice its normal size.
|
| 37. | AVPR1B was initially described as a novel vasopressin receptor located in the anterior pituitary, where it stimulates ACTH release.
|
| 38. | Adrenocorticotropin ( ACTH ) is released from the anterior pituitary, which triggers the release of glucocorticoids from the adrenals.
|
| 39. | The most common disease of GH excess is a pituitary tumor composed of somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary.
|
| 40. | The anterior pituitary lobe produces hormones that stimulate the thyroid and the adrenal glands to make their own hormones.
