Track: Pituitary and Neuroendocrinology

Session Overview: This session explores the critical role of the anterior pituitary gland in maintaining metabolic and stress-related homeostasis through tightly regulated hormone secretion. Emphasis is placed on the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, particularly the neuroendocrine control of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), and how dysregulation leads to significant metabolic and clinical consequences.

Glucose Metabolism and Endocrine Regulation: This session examines the role of pituitary hormones in regulating glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. It highlights the influence of growth hormone, ACTH, and cortisol on energy balance. Clinical implications of hormonal imbalance in metabolic disorders will be discussed.

Diabetic Coma: Focuses on endocrine triggers leading to diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar states. The pathophysiology of hormonal dysregulation during acute metabolic decompensation is reviewed. Emergency diagnostic and management strategies are emphasized.

Normal Physiology of Growth Hormone in Adults: Explores the physiological functions of growth hormone in adult metabolism and body composition. Discusses GH effects on lipid metabolism, muscle mass, and cardiovascular function. Emphasis is placed on normal secretion patterns and regulation.

Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD): Covers the clinical presentation and diagnostic evaluation of AGHD. Reviews evidence-based management strategies including GH replacement therapy. Outcomes related to metabolic health, quality of life, and cardiovascular risk are discussed.

Stress and Trauma: Examines how physical and psychological stress activate the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. Focuses on ACTH and cortisol responses during acute and chronic stress. Discusses endocrine implications for metabolic and immune function.

This session provides a comprehensive bridge between basic neuroendocrine physiology and clinical endocrinology, equipping clinicians and researchers with practical insights into diagnosis, management, and therapeutic strategies related to pituitary dysfunction and metabolic emergencies.
