Introduction[edit | edit source]
The pituitary gland is a tiny but vital organ found at the base of the brain. It is viewed as the master gland, acting as the main endocrine interface between the central nervous system and the rest of the body. The pituitary gland secretes and stores hormones, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), growth hormone (hGH), prolactin, gonadotropins, and luteinizing hormones, and antidiuretic hormone (ADH).[1][2]
