Role of the pituitary-bone axis in skeletal pathophysiology
Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Obesity, 11/03/09

Imam A et al. – An ambitious extrapolation is that a plurality of pituitary hormones acts in concert as part of a 'pituitary–bone' axis to regulate skeletal integrity in health and disease.
