Hypothalamic and pituitary injury.
The hypothalamic-pituitary axis is recognized to an increasing extent as a physiological unit which influences and is influenced by endocrine and autonomic function. Anatomically, however, a clear distinction is to be drawn, with regard to both cellular and vascular anatomy, betweenthe neural (hypothalamus and neurohypophysis) and the glandular epithelial (pars distalis) components of the axis....
متن کاملHypothalamic-Pituitary Autoimmunity and Traumatic Brain Injury
BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of secondary hypopituitarism in children and adults, and is responsible for impaired quality of life, disabilities and compromised development. Alterations of pituitary function can occur at any time after the traumatic event, presenting in various ways and evolving during time, so they require appropriate screening for early detection ...
متن کاملPituitary and hypothalamic physiology.
Professor P. M. Daniel has described in the first paper the nervous pathways connecting the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary and how the posterior pituitary merely stores the hormones vasopressin, oxytocin (which has no clearly defined function in man), and neurophysin, the large molecule or molecules which bind the other hormones. For many years the anterior pituitary was thought to be ...
متن کاملHypothalamic-pituitary abscess.
Introduction Abscesses of the diencephalon are extremely rare. This case report gives details of a patient with panhypopituitarism due to an abscess of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The clinical, endocrinological, and radiological findings are described and and compared with previous case reports. A common pattern of signs and symptoms and a relationship to sphenoid sinusitis can be rec...
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 ...
