Figures & data
Figure 1 PA affects the whole-body metabolism through the pituitary hormones.
Notes: The molecular mechanisms of pituitary hormones involve specific receptors and transcription factors. NFPAs are hormone silent, but some of them can cause hyperprolactinemia. The FSH/LH PA affects the whole-body metabolism indirectly; the mechanism is not shown in Figure because of limited data.
Abbreviations: GH, growth hormone; ACTH, adrenocorticotropic hormone; TSH, thyroid-stimulating hormone; GHR, growth hormone receptor; IGF, insulin-like growth factor; TRs, thyroid hormone receptors; PA, pituitary adenoma; NFPAs, nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas; FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone; LH, luteinizing hormone.
