Neuroimmunoendocrine Regulation Messengers • Neurotransmitters • Interleukins • Hormons
Pituitary – weight Females 505 - 1002 mg (average 660 mg) pregnant women 560 - 1220 mg (average 762 mg) Males 400 - 855 mg (average 570 mg) Rasmussen, AT Am.J. Anat. 1928 a 1934
Pituitary- architecture • adenohypophysis • pars infundibularis (tuberalis) • pars intermedia • neurohypophysis • hypophysis pharyngea (+ hidden islets of pit. cells in the os sphenoides)
Pituitary- cell inclusions • squamous epithelium • Rathke´s pouch between AH and NH • salivary glands- NH, often with oncocytes
Pituitary- parts - function • Adenohypophysis secretion of tropins • Pars infundibularis (tuberalis) modulation of AH secretion • Pars intermedia • Neurohypophysissecretion of neuropeptides • hypophysis pharyngea evtl. secretion of tropins
Pituitary– cell populations • acidophil(somatotrophs, lactotrophs) • basophil(corticotrophs, gonadotrophs, thyreotrophs) • chromofobe(transitional. + foliculostellate) • oncocytes(or preoncocytes) • mesenchymal • pituicytes (macroglie) • secretion neurons(tractus supraoptico- et tuberohypophyseus)
Hypophysis- cell population & hormonal production • acidophil PRL , STH • basophil ACTH, FSH, LH, TSH • chromophobe 0, PRL , STH , ACTH, FSH, LH, TSH • oncocytes 0, PRL , STH , ACTH, FSH, LH, TSH • mesenchymal • pituicytes • secretion neurons oxytocin, vasopresin
Pituitary- cell population & hormonal production Hormonal production mostly mixed (e.g. ACTH+FSH,LH,TSH,PRL)
Pituitary - cell population &hormonal production Individual producents able of interconversion due to stimulation (e.g. PRL-GH)
L e p t i n • adipocytes - blood - CSF -hypothalamus (ncl. arcuatus ) • regulation of energetic homeostasis • correlation with the body fat content • in most obese individuals high levels -resistence? Friedman et al., Nature 1994
Pituitary- regressive changes • Dystrophy(Crooke´s hyaline change) • Atrophy - in aging increased fibrosis, no functional influence • NECROSIS • traumatic (mostly due to the stalk lesion) • ischemic
Pituitary- vascularisation • a. hypophysea sup. (from ACI) • a. trabecularis directly to AH • long portal veins in the stalk • a. hypophysea inf. (from ACI in sinus c.) • short portal veins

Pituitary syndromes • Hypofunctional • panhypopituitarismus • selective hypofunction • Hyperfunctional • monohormonal • combined
Total >90% AH destroyed Syndromes: Simmonds Sheehan Falta Lorain Partial monohormonal combined Regulatory hypofunction peripheral glands ectopic production iatrogenous Hypopituitarismus
m. Adisoni centralis • adrenal atrophy • vacuolisation of cardiomyocytes • lack of the skin hyperpigmentation • hypotension • weekness • hyperkalaemia

Pituitary Adenomas • acidophillic • basophillic • chromophobe • mixed
Acidophillic adenomas • somatotroph • lactotroph • mixed somatotroph and lactotroph • somatolactotroph densely granulated • onkocytic
Basophillic adenomas • corticotrophic • thyreotrophic • gonadotrophic densely granulated
Chromophobe adenomas • all types of hormonal productions scarcely granulated • null cell
Monohormonal Syndromes: 1. gigantismus/acromegaly 2. hyperprolactinemia (galaktorea, amenorea) 3. Cushing 4. hyperthyreosis 5. (hypergonadotropinismus) Combined 1+2, 1+3, 1+4, 2+3, 3+4 Regulatory hyperfunction periph. glands ectopic production iatrogenous Hyperpituitarismus
