Traditional textbook physiology has ascribed unitary functions to hormones from the anterior
and posterior pituitary gland, mainly in the regulation of effector hormone secretion from …

Seasonal changes in food intake and adiposity in many animal species are triggered by
changes in the photoperiod. These latter changes are faithfully transduced into a …

High post-menopausal levels of the pituitary gonadotropin follicle-stimulating hormone
(FSH) are strongly associated with the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have shown …

Background: Tanycytes are specialized glial cells within the mediobasal hypothalamus that

Clinical studies and experimental data together support a role for pituitary gonadotropins,
including luteinizing hormone (LH), otherwise considered solely as fertility hormones, in age …

The pituitary gland orchestrates multiple endocrine organs by secreting tropic hormones,
and therefore plays a significant role in a myriad of physiological processes, including …

The average current life expectancy entails that women will spend over one third of their
lives in menopause. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in women begin to increase …
