The anterior region of the hypothalamus ... are considered the most potent activators of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Following its activation, the HPA axis stimulates the ...

Prolactin, a polypeptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, plays a vital role in regulating several key physiological processes, most notably la ...

The surgical centre isn’t a place. It’s a metaphor. For precision. For courage. For reverence. For knowing that everything ...

In 1977, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Roger Guillemin and Andrew Schally for their discovery and synthesis of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), a key regulator of ...

An early and persisting activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis was observed in relation to severity of disease. Its characteristic biphasic pattern suggests an initial central ...

which severs the connections between the cell bodies of AVP-secreting neurons in the hypothalamus and their nerve terminals in the posterior pituitary gland, which prevents AVP secretion.

The aim of this study was to characterize the response of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system in the first hours of ischemic stroke and to relate its extent to the occurrence of acute ...

We employed multivariable linear regression to assess associations of hypothalamic volumes with age, sex and cognitive performance. In older individuals, volumes of total, anterior and posterior ...
