Endocrine/paracrine control of pituitary cell proliferation and its involvement in pituitary tumorigenesis

M Pawlikowski. Pituitary. 1999 May.

Abstract

The paper concisely reviews the data on the humoral factors which regulate the anterior pituitary cell proliferation in endocrine and/or paracrine manner. Their relevance for pituitary tumorigenesis is also discussed. The role of estrogens, growth factors, neuropeptides, dopamine, interleukins and angiotensins is presented.
