Pituitary Hormones

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Hormones secreted by the PITUITARY GLAND including those from the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis), the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis), and the ill-defined intermediate lobe. Structurally, they include small peptides, proteins, and glycoproteins. They are under the regulation of neural signals (NEUROTRANSMITTERS) or neuroendocrine signals (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES) from the hypothalamus as well as feedback from their targets such as ADRENAL CORTEX HORMONES; ANDROGENS; ESTROGENS.  GEN or unspecified; prefer specific groups or specific hormone; /defic: consider also HYPOPITUITARISM & its specifics   
See Also Hypopituitarism; Receptors, Pituitary Hormone
