The hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, risk stratification, effectiveness of radioiodine therapy, and treatment response evaluation in epithelial ...

A paracrine hormone of skeletal muscle acts as an endocrine signal for the synthesis of a sex hormone. Scientists at McGill ...

Despite tremendous advances in the understanding of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, current treatment of hypopituitarism primarily involves direct hormone replacement. Patients are treated with ...

These hormones control processes such as growth, metabolism, reproduction, and stress response. However, when a tumor ...

The pituitary gland is an endocrine gland located ... an intermediate and a posterior lobe. It secretes pivotal hormones such as growth hormone, TSH, ACTH and prolactin, which regulate functions ...

The pituicytes, a subtype of the astroglia—star-shaped cells of the nervous system—were known to facilitate the release of oxytocin and vasopressin hormones from the posterior pituitary lobe.

A second research interest of the laboratory is to understand the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie the sex differences in the function of the adult hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

Maternal stress hormone levels during early pregnancy can have a lasting effect on the stress system of the offspring. The results of a long-term study on wild Assamese macaques in Thailand indicate ...

Adrenal steroidogenesis is under the control of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Furthermore, metabolic factors including insulin and obesity-related signals may play a role in ...
