All endocrine glands are susceptible to neoplastic growth, yet the health consequences of
these neoplasms differ between endocrine tissues. Pituitary neoplasms are highly prevalent …

The discovery of kisspeptin as a critical central regulatory factor of GnRH release has given
people a novel understanding of the neuroendocrine regulation in human reproduction …

The principal role of prolactin in mammals is the regulation of lactation. Prolactin is a
hormone that is mainly synthesized and secreted by lactotroph cells in the anterior pituitary …

The hypothalamic control of prolactin secretion is different from other anterior pituitary
hormones, in that it is predominantly inhibitory, by means of dopamine from the …

Prevalence and incidence of prolactinomas are approximately 50 per 100,000 and 3–5 new
cases/100,000/year. The pathophysiological mechanism of hyperprolactinemia-induced …

Prolactin is a hormone that is mainly secreted by lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary
gland, and is involved in many biological processes including lactation and reproduction …

Thyroid function affects multiple sites of the female hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal (HPG)
axis. Disruption of thyroid function has been linked to reproductive dysfunction in women …

Context: Secondary amenorrhea—the absence of menses for three consecutive cycles—
affects approximately 3–4% of reproductive age women, and infertility—the failure to …

Gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the key regulator of the reproductive
axis. Its pulsatile secretion determines the pattern of secretion of the gonadotropins follicle …
