Pituitary adenomas may hypersecrete hormones (including prolactin, growth hormone and
adrenocorticotropic hormone, and rarely follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone or …

The pituitary gland is a central endocrine organ regulating basic physiological functions,
including growth, the stress response, reproduction, metabolic homeostasis, and lactation …

Precise control of transcriptional programmes underlying metazoan development is
modulated by enzymatically active co-regulatory complexes, coupled with epigenetic …

The anterior pituitary gland has the ability to respond to complex signals derived from central
and peripheral systems. Perception of these signals and their integration are mediated by …

The application of the powerful tool molecular biology has made it possible to ask questions
not only about hormone production and action but also to characterize many of the receptor …

The pituitary gland is composed of two distinct entities: the adenohypophysis, including the
anterior and intermediate lobes, and the neurohypophysis, known as the posterior lobe. This …

Context: LHX3 encodes LIM homeodomain class transcription factors with important roles in
pituitary and nervous system development. The only previous report of LHX3 mutations …

The pituitary gland functions as a relay between the hypothalamus and peripheral target
organs that regulate basic physiological functions, including growth, the stress response …

The anterior pituitary is derived from Rathke's pouch arising from the oral ectoderm. The
initial apparently uniform precursor cells proliferate and differentiate into six different cell …

The homeodomain transcription factor Six1 and its modulator, the protein phosphatase
Eya1, cooperate to promote cell differentiation and survival during mouse organ …
