Description:

The pitutatry gland secretes multiple harmones that guide numerous bodily functions. The harmones are • Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal gland to produce the hormone cortisol, which is required in response to stress. • Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) regulates the water balance in the body. • The growth hormone (GH) regulates growth. • Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) regulates the production of eggs and sperm. • Luteinizing hormone (LH): Promotes the release of testosterone in men and estrogen in women • Prolactin stimulates breast milk production after pregnancy. • Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone, which is necessary for regulation of metabolism temperature and other bodily functions. Conditions that affect the pituitary gland include acromegaly and gigantism, Cushing and empty sella syndromes, prolactinoma, and more. Pituitary conditions can affect sexual development, thyroid function, growth, skin pigmentation, and adrenal function. Acromegaly, cushing syndrome, diabetes insipidus, Hypopituitarism, empty Sella syndrome, and pitutary tumors are some of the major life-threatening disorders of pitutatry gland.
