SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION IN ADENOMAS OF THE PITUITARY BODY

摘要: For the past two decades it has been customary to subdivide pituitary disorders, as more simple thyroid disorders are satisfactorily subdivided, into opposed groups, those due glandular oversecretion (hyperpituitarism) in which overgrowth is striking clinical feature, and underaction (hypopituitarism) characterized by adiposity genital dystrophy also dwarfism when process starts early life. This conception temporarily useful a working basis, but recent disclosures that anterior contains chemically separable hormones, one activating growth other reproductive functions, serves not only clarify much was obscure hyper- hypo-pituitary syndromes obliges us modify our former views regarding them.
