The pituitary gland controls many important physiological processes in vertebrates,
including growth, homeostasis, and reproduction. As in mammals, the teleost pituitary …

The development of the anterior pituitary gland occurs in distinct sequential developmental
steps, leading to the formation of a complex organ containing five different cell types …

The 2 pituitary gonadotropins, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone
(LH), regulate the reproductive function in all vertebrates. While many studies have …

Thyroid disorders significantly affect human metabolism, cardiovascular function, skeletal
health, and reproductive systems, presenting a complex challenge due to their multifactorial …

The pituitary is the vertebrate endocrine gland responsible for the production and secretion
of several essential peptide hormones. These, in turn, control many aspects of an animal's …

In vertebrates, the anterior pituitary plays a crucial role in regulating several essential
physiological processes via the secretion of at least seven peptide hormones by different …

Often referred to as “the master gland”, the pituitary is a key organ controlling growth,
maturation, and homeostasis in vertebrates. The anterior pituitary, which contains several …

The glycoprotein hormones (GPH) are heterodimers composed of a common α subunit and
a specific β subunit. They act by activating specific leucine-rich repeat G protein-coupled …

The vertebrate pituitary is a dynamic organ, capable of adapting its hormone secretion to
different physiological demands. In this context, endocrinologists have debated for the past …

Luteinizing hormone (Lh) and follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) control reproduction in
vertebrates. Using a transgenic line of medaka, in which green fluorescent protein …
