Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The anterior pituitary is one of the major hormone-producing organs of the brain. The anterior pituitary region is responsible for the regulation of many physiological processes like growth, reproduction, stress as well as lactation. It also controls the production of hormones via a negative feedback loop.
