Metabolic Hormones

If we consider the commanding position which the pituitary gland according to modern views occupies in the system of endocrine glands, and compare this with the role which many endocrine glands play in metabolism, then numerous attempts to isolate from the pituitary gland special hormones regulating metabolism will be completely understandable and natural. The search for special metabolic hormones in the pituitary gland is all the more justified because a number of clinical facts have directly suggested the involvement of the pituitary gland in metabolism.

Stimulating Hormone

We have previously reported a case of anterior pituitary insufficiency in a 14-year-old girl following closed head trauma.1 Endocrine evaluation one year after her accident revealed hypopituitarism manifested by cachexia, hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, and hypoadrenocorticism. Laboratory studies demonstrated deficiencies of adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), growth hormone, and gonadotropic hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone). We postulated that her hypopituitarism was due to anterior pituitary gland destruction rather than stalk section or hypothalamic damage. We have recently measured her serum prolactin concentrations following provocative stimulation with thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), and these results strengthen the evidence for direct anterior pituitary gland destruction and provide a more complete delineation of her endocrinologic function.

Anterior Pituitary Gland

To resolve the issue of the origin of the so-called hormone of the anterior pituitary gland, excreted in the urine during pregnancy and causing a positive reaction to the latter, aa. examined the decidua placenta and urine during abortion, intrauterine and tubal pregnancy.
