Can you get a pituitary Gland transplant?
Yes, the pituitary gland can be removed. You would have to take replacement hormones to make up for the loss of hormones the pituitary gland would make though. The pituitary is made up of two parts: anterior and posterior. The anterior consists of these hormones: growth hormones, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone. The posterior consists of antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin.
Could a human being grow after puberty in anatomical dimensions if adminstered a Pituitary hormone?
No. Once the epiphyseal (growth) plates at the end of your long bones (femur, humerus, etc), have fused (a result of your sex hormone in puberty), you can no longer grow in height (without repeated breaking and moulding of the bones) The pituitary hormone responsible for growth - the Growth Hormone (original), if in excess in a post-pubertal person, will result in acromegaly, a condition where the soft tissue will swell, as does some other bones (notably, your forehead & jaw). If all this was to occur in someone pre-pubertal, it would resort in gigantism - and yes you would continue to grow.

What is the major targets for growth hormones?
The target gland for growth hormone (GH) are liver, chondrocyte (mature cell found in cartilage) and adipose cells (fat/lipid storing cells). ^ Someone else said this, but according to my anatomy book, "Although growth hormone stimulates most body cells to increase in size and divide, it's major target are the bones and skeletal muscles. Stimulation of the epiphyseal plate leads to long bone growth, and stimulation of skeletal muscles promotes increased muscle mass."

Being gay or lesbian is not about hormones. All humans have the same basic hormones. Excesses or deficiencies can cause health problems, but they can't make someone gay or transgendered.

How severe a heroin habit does someone have to have to raise their prolactin hormone level?
Pretty severe and it doesn't get raised that much. Not enough to cause any problems other than a loss of libido maybe. Your libido comes back once you quit.
