Pituitary crosstalk with bone, adipose tissue and brain
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 15 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41574-023-00894-5This Review discusses newly discovered functions of pituitary hormones on bone, adipose tissue and the brain. Mechanisms of pituitary hormone actions on somatic organs and neural function are outlined. The role of dysregulated pituitary hormone function in multiple diseases and the potential for targeting ligands and receptors therapeutically are discussed. (Source: Nature Reviews Endocrinology)

Non-invasive daily profiles of tissue adrenal steroids
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 11 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41574-023-00901-9In a new study, an ambulatory microdialysis system combined with ultrasensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry enabled the building of a 24-h high-resolution profile of adrenal steroids in the tissue by sampling interstitial fluid in 214 healthy volunteers. Daily and ultradian variations of eight free steroids, including cortisol and aldosterone, have been demonstrated, which opens new diagnostic perspectives for endocrine diseases.

Inflammation-induced adrenal dysfunction
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 11 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41574-023-00896-3Acute inflammation triggers activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, but whether it could also impede the adrenocortical response to adrenocorticotropic hormone remains controversial. A new study using preclinical models of acute inflammation demonstrates dysregulation of energy metabolism in adrenocortical cells, resulting in oxidative stress that induces disruption of steroidogenesis.

Control of adipose tissue cellularity by the terminal complement cascade
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 11 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41574-023-00900-wAdipocytes have high levels of many components of the complement system. These components are involved in antimicrobial activities, but also have the potential to regulate the maintenance and turn-over of adipocytes under normal and pathophysiological conditions through positive and negative regulation of the membrane attack complex.
