The primary hormones of the anterior pituitary are proteins and include
- growth hormone (GH) - growth and glucose homeostasis
- luteinizing hormone (LH) - menstrual cycle and reproduction
- follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) - same
- adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) - stimulates glucocorticoid production in the adrenal gland
- thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) - stimulates thyroxine production in the thyroid
- prolactin (PRL) - stimulates milk production in the breast
These hormones are secreted in individually characteristic pulsatile patterns, often with distinct circadian rhythm, rather than at steady rates throughout 24 hours.
The posterior pituitary produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin, the former regulating plasma osmolarity and the latter regulating uterine contractions during childbirth.
Growth hormone is often the first hormone lost, so most people with hypopituitarism lack GH as well as one or more others. As for the posterior pituitary, ADH deficiency is the main problem, while oxytocin deficiency rarely causes clinically significant problems.

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
