Assessment of hypothalamic pituitary function in endocrine disease.
The insulin test carried out with adequate safeguards under standardized conditions yields valuable information regarding hypothalamic and pituitary function when plasma levels of sugar, cortisol, and growth hormone are determined. The use of a test based on the plasma cortisol response to the infusion of lysine-vasopressin, a polypeptide with a corticotrophin-releasing action, is also of value...
متن کاملHypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function.
Basal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) function is characterised by pulses of corticosterone secretion followed by a transient refractory period when the axis appears to be inhibited. In females pulses of corticosterone secretion occur approximately once per hour with variation in pulse amplitude underlying a diurnal rhythm. Males show smaller pulses of secretion which become widely spaced ...

The hypothalamic-pituitary system is considered to be a seminal event that emerged prior to or during the differentiation of the ancestral agnathans (jawless vertebrates). Hagfishes as one of the only two extant members of the class of agnathans are considered the most primitive vertebrates known, living or extinct. Accordingly, studies on their reproduction are important for understanding the ...
متن کاملSecretion of hypothalamic and pituitary hormones by non-endocrine tumours.
That non-endocrine cancers can produce clinical syndromes of apparent hormone excess has been known for some time (Rees and Ratcliffe, 1974). Now there is ample clinical and biocheinical evidence that many polypeptide hormones may be produced and released by human tumours which originate in tissues which are not normally regarded as sites for the physiological production of the hormones. In som...
