- HGH binds to specific receptors on target tissues including muscle, connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, bone, and fat), as well as every major organ. (mysupplementstore.com.au)
Hypothalamic8
- PRL secretion is distinct from that of the other anterior pituitary hormones, being inhibited by hypothalamic dopamine. (medscape.com)
- Decades of research on this receptor has demonstrated its importance to the modulation of social recognition memory, social forms of aggression, and modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, particularly under conditions of acute stress. (frontiersin.org)
- Given the complexity of the central Avp system, as well as the many behaviors Avp is known to affect, this review will focus on the role of Avp signaling via the Avpr1b in the modulation of behaviors such as social memory and aggression as well as the importance of this system to the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. (frontiersin.org)
- These gonadal hormones are produced by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and have been shown to determine sex differences in adult HPA function after acute stress via their activational and organizational effects. (nature.com)
- These hormones are carried via a specialized blood vessel, the hypothalamic-pituitary portal system, directly to the pituitary gland. (musclegrowthexpert.com)
- Head trauma that results in a skull base fracture may cause hypothalamic hormone deficiencies, resulting in deficient secretion of anterior and posterior pituitary hormones. (pediagenosis.com)
- Therefore, many studies have been conducted to identify the predictive factors of CPP which has been attributed to a dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. (springeropen.com)
- Measurements were compared with the control group, including 83 subjects with normal hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and normal pituitary gland on MRI. (bvsalud.org)
Neural tissue1
- The posterior pituitary consists of neural tissue that descends from the floor of the third ventricle. (medscape.com)
