[Hormonal regulation of bone tissue and skeletal tumors]
Abstract:
Data on the importance of hormones in the regulation of bone tissue are presented. The results of studies on the direct and mediated action of growth hormones, prolactin, somatomedins, insulin-like growth factors, parathormone as well as thyroid and steroid hormones on bone tissue are summarized. Information on the modifying effect of hormones on the development of induced osteosarcomas in animals and analysis of clinical data on the role of hormones in the pathogenesis of human osteosarcomas are given.

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH release.
