The hormones secreted by the pituitary and their functions are: growth hormone (GH), which stimulates growth of tissues and bone thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete hormones that affect body metabolism adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which stimulates the adrenal gland to secrete cortisol which helps to maintain blood pressure prolactin , which stimulates female breast development and milk production luteinizing hormone (LH), which controls sexual function in males and females

   Extractions: hypopituitarism By Adam Brochert, MD Images (click to view larger image) The pituitary gland is located inside the skull. When this gland becomes less active than normal for any reason, hypopituitarism is said to occur. What is going on in the body? The pituitary gland is sometimes called the master gland of the body. It secretes many important hormones that have different effects on other glands in the body. When the pituitary gland is not working correctly, many things can go wrong in the body. The danger of hypopituitarism is that levels of other key hormones may become too low. When thyroid hormone and adrenal hormone are extremely low, death may occur. The underlying cause of this condition, such as a tumor, may also have risks. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? A decrease in pituitary gland activity can result in low levels of: sex hormones. This can reduce the sex drive, affect the ability to have children or breastfeed, and cause menstrual cycle problems in women. thyroid hormone, known as hypothyroidism. This can cause fatigue , weight gain, slow heartbeat , and impaired thinking.

    Extractions: Diane N. Schmidt, MD; Kathleen Wallace, MD VOL 104 / NO 7 / JULY 1998 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables This is the third of three articles on endocrine disorders Preview : Various abnormalities of or trauma to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus can cause hypopituitarism. Resultant hormonal deficiencies may be partial and may take years to develop fully. Therefore, the clinical picture is often subtle and may include numerous manifestations, depending on the hormones involved and the patient's age at onset. In addition to discussing the causes of hypopituitarism, the authors of this article describe how to recognize and treat resulting hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, hypogonadism, and growth-hormone deficiency. H ypopituitarism is deficiency of one or more anterior pituitary hormones, which results in insufficient stimulation and therefore insufficient hormonal output of the respective target glands. The target-gland dysfunction is referred to as secondary deficiency, indicating that the pituitary gland is the source of the problem. Unexpected laboratory results may be the first clue to hypopituitarism. A 59-year-old woman was admitted because of an asthma exacerbation and was noted to have fatigue, generalized weakness, hoarseness, constipation, cold intolerance, facial and infraorbital puffiness, and dry, cool skin. She was obese, having had weight gain over the course of many years. On questioning, she reported experiencing excessive hemorrhaging during many of her 10 pregnancies, being unable to breast-feed any of her children, and having amenorrhea since the age of 28. On admission, she was taking only high-dose corticosteroids that had recently been prescribed for asthma. Her pulse was 88 beats per minute and her reflexes showed a delayed relaxation phase. There was no evidence of thyroid enlargement.

    Extractions: Description Inadequate function of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, which produces hormones such as corticotrophin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone , and luteinising hormone and growth hormone (see here for more detail on these hormones), is termed hypopituitarism . This generally results in a partial or complete loss of functioning of that lobe. Hypopituitarism can be primary (directly affecting the pituitary gland) or secondary (affecting the hypothalamus). The causes of hypopituitarism vary, depending on whether it is primary or secondary. Symptoms and Signs The resulting symptoms of hypopituitarism depend on which hormones are no longer being produced by the gland. Because the pituitary gland affects the other endocrine organs, effects of hypopituitarism may be gradual or sudden and dramatic. See this table for the symptoms commonly associated with insufficient production of specific pituitary hormones.
