The anterior pituitary not only produces hormones for its own use but also produces hormones for use of other glands. The anterior pituitary is sometimes referred to as the "master gland". The Growth Hormone or Somatotropic Hormone is produced during childhood and should no longer be produced by the adult anterior pituitary. The hormones that it produces for itself are: Prolactin is produced in quantity after childbirth and stimulates development of the mammary glands. It is also involved in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Malanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH) stimulates melanocytes to synthesize melanin; a dark pigment that provides skin color and absorbs ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. Anterior pituitary hormones that regulate other glands: Thyriod Stimulating Hormone (TSH) which aids in the production of thyroxin in the thyroid. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) which aids in the production of cortisol in the adrenal cortex. Gonadotropic Hormones (GnRH)which aids in the production of sex hormones (follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and leutinizing hormone (LH)) in the ovaries and testes. Additionally, the anterior pituitary produces endorphin, a neuropeptide with pain suppressing capabilities. In order to answer this question, the age of the adult would play a role in the hormone supplements required and could include all or a subset of supplements for the hormones discussed above. This answer is based on research from various sites found on the internet. It is not a clinical finding by the person answering the question and is not intended to provide medical advice. A doctor should be consulted should before embarking on any supplement regime. Answered by Joe Bigley.
The hormones needed by an adult whose anterior pituitary gland has been removed are growth hormone (GH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which is called interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH) in the male (Applegate, 2000, 209). If the patient does not have replacement for TSH, the thyroid gland will not be stimulated to produce thyroid hormones (Hypothyroidism, 2002). Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid gland and affects growth, development, and cellular processes. The thyroid gland uses iodine to produce thyroid hormones, the most important ones being thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), w
growth hormone
Another name for the pituitary gland is the hypophysis (it may be called the hypophyseal gland by some). This name comes from the Greek words that mean "grows under" and "to make grow". This name was given because the pituitary gland is located under a very important structure called the hypothalamus, from which it get almost all of its instructions on what hormones to secrete. Further, the hormones that the pituitary secretes are important for skeletal growth, development of other glands and organs, etc. Thus, the description "grows under" and "to make grow" are good descriptions of the location and function of the pituitary.
The anterior pituitary produces luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. Both are gonadotropins.
There are 7 different hormones released from the hypothalamus. They all are regulatory hormones that act on the anterior pituitary with the exception of prolactin inhibitory hormone. Most of them have a positive influence on the anterior pituitary, but there is also a negative influence on the growth hormone release.The 7 different hormones released are:GHRH (Growth hormone releasing hormone) - counteracted by another hormone released from the hypothalamus called Somatostatin, which blocks hormone release. (+)Growth hormone release inhibitory hormone - Somatostatin (-)CRH (Corticotropin releasing hormone) - acts on the adrenal glands to stimulate corticoid metabolism (+)TRH (Thyrotropin releasing hormone) - act on target cells within the pituitary gland (+)Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) - acts on target cells within the anterior pituitary to stimulate thyroid hormone production. (+)Prolactin inhibitory hormone - Dopamine(-)PRH (Prolactin releasing hormone) (+)
The most common cause for Cushing's syndrome is iatrogenic, meaning it is a side effect of a medication given by their doctor, but it could also be caused by Cushing's disease (a pituitary adenoma), adrenal gland tumors, or due to hormones secreted by certain types of cancers.
pituitary gland CHEATERS!... <- You're darn right.
