The anterior pituitary is composed of specialized cells, each responsible for producing and secreting a single hormone in response to hormone signals from both the hypothalamus and peripheral endocrine glands. The posterior pituitary can be considered an extension of the hypothalamus and does not ...

The pituitary gland is divided into two parts: the anterior pituitary and the posterior pituitary. Each part has its own job. The anterior pituitary makes and releases its own hormones, while the posterior pituitary stores and releases hormones that are made in the hypothalamus. The anterior pitui...
The intermediate lobe of the anterior pituitary is located between theposterior pituitaryand the distal lobe (seeFig. 14.2). It is poorly developed in humans compared with other mammals, consisting of a series of gland-like acini lined by a cuboidal epithelium. These cells are usually immunoreacti...

Continuous perifusion of quartered anterior pituitary glands from juvenile and adult chickens of both sexes with chicken gonadotrophin-releasing hormone-I (cGnRH-I) stimulated a spike-plateau profile of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. When perifused in Ca(2+)-free medium, pituitary glands from ...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this work was to study the direct effect of leptin on LH release by anterior pituitary glands from female rats at the time of spontaneous and steroid-induced LH surge. METHODS: LH responsiveness to leptin by pituitaries from rats killed in the afternoon (1500 h) at...
aAlthough the pituitary gland is called the master gland, it is actually regulated by other endocrine glands and by the nervous system. The secretion of the hormones of the anterior hypophysis is primarily influenced and controlled by the higher centers in the hypothalamus. Releasing hormones are ...
