Eight hypoxic male patients with stable chronic obstructive airways disease were submitted for combined anterior pituitary function testing.

There was a rise in circulating androgen levels in all pa...
متن کاملHypothalamic-pituitary gland axis function and dysfunction in horses.
Hypothalamic-pituitary (HP) dysfunction has been documented in a limited capacity in horses and foals associated with critical illness, stress, and pain. This article reviews species-specific details of anatomy, function, hormones, receptors, and testing of the HP axis in the horse. A discussion of critical care medicine relevant to HP dysfunction in the horse with some reference to current und...

The association of this endo...
متن کاملModel-Based Therapeutic Correction of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Dysfunction
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is a major system maintaining body homeostasis by regulating the neuroendocrine and sympathetic nervous systems as well modulating immune function. Recent work has shown that the complex dynamics of this system accommodate several stable steady states, one of which corresponds to the hypocortisol state observed in patients with chronic fatigue syndr...
