an Endocrine Society Thematic Issue
Read our special collection of journal articles, published in 2023–2024, focused on neuroendocrinology! Curation of the collection was guided by Altmetric Attention Scores, article downloads, and Featured Article designations.
In Journal of the Endocrine Society, McCormack and colleagues find safety but not efficacy in a pilot trial of intranasal oxytocin for the treatment of hypothalamic obesity. Shi and associates describe clinical characteristics of a group of patients with cardiac paragangliomas. Abeledo-Machado et al. review intra-pituitary mechanisms regulating prolactin levels.
In JCEM Case Reports, Goh and coauthors describe the case of a man with an aggressive plurihormonal pituitary adenoma. Galbiati and Kaiser provide an account of a somatotroph adenoma causing growth hormone excess in a young adult. Costanza and colleagues detail a rare case involving pituitary metastases from a primary colon cancer.
In Endocrine Reviews, Eisenhofer et al. assess advances in the biochemical assessment of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. Langouche and coauthors explain how “the classical concept of an activated hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenocortical axis in response to critical illness is in need of revision.” Timmers and colleagues survey advances in techniques for imaging pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.
In Endocrinology, Decourt and coauthors report that deletion of androgen receptors from kisspeptin neurons prevents the development of features of polycystic ovary syndrome in a mouse model. Wall et al. document fluctuations in prolactin as well as gonadal steroid levels across the mouse estrous cycle. McIntyre and colleagues detail how suppression of luteinizing hormone pulse frequency in response to neuronal activation from the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus is mediated by GABAergic signaling intrinsic to the nucleus.
In JCEM, de Castro Moreira and associates report that prolactin receptor variants are associated with dopamine agonist resistance as well as with prolactinomas. Shoemaker and Tamaroff review approaches to the patient with hypothalamic obesity. And Mamelak et al. provide results from a prospective, multicenter observational study of surgical versus non-surgical management of pituitary apoplexy.

It can be difficult to keep up to date in the rapidly evolving and expanding world of endocrine science. We curate topical collections of research from across our journals, Endocrine Reviews, Endocrinology, Journal of the Endocrine Society, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, and JCEM Case Reports so that you can easily find and read recent, influential articles on the topics that interest you.
Selection in each Thematic Issue is guided by online metrics, including Altmetric Attention Scores, Featured Article designations, and identification of leading authors and key topics. Each month, we publish a new Thematic Issue online and work to highlight and promote endocrine science in the press, through email, on social media and across other distribution channels.
