Abstract
The anterior pituitary gland of mammalian species secretes six major trophic hormones: adrenocorticotropic hormone, two gonadotropins, thyrotrophin, prolactin and growth hormone. Synthesis and secretion of these pituitary hormones is regulated in part by hypothalamic factors which reach the pituitary gland by a portal system and which act upon specific target cells to stimulate or inhibit hormone production. In addition, pituitary function is regulated by circulating hormones including steroids and peptides.
