i have a grandson with pituitary gland problems. as i understand it (and I am an RN). The pituitary is the mother gland of them all and controls everything from growth to breathing, heart rate, temperature regulation, sugar use, (Diabetes,). the main hormone as i understand it that regulates growth and development is the GHT or growth hormone, also IGF this hormone actually does regulate growth, sexual organ development, etc. the good news is. most of these can be given and normal devolpment obtained. the cortisol level is what we are dealing with the most right now, and without it the baby has no energy, little temperature regulation, can't fight infection, actually almost died from an ear infection before we knew he wasn't secreting the hormones he needed. He is doing better now he is taking an oral med called hydrocorisone. his growth factor is being checked now and if it is low he has to have shots everyday just like diabetes.
