Neuroendocrinology of pituitary hormone regulation

R M Lechan. Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 1987 Sep.

Abstract

Hormone secretion from the pituitary gland is dependent on the intimate association between the hypothalamus and pituitary by vascular and neuronal connections. The anatomic organization of these networks and their specific peptide and/or amide mediators are described in detail. Pertinent factors governing hypothalamic regulation of anterior pituitary secretion are also discussed.
