A comparative study by age and gender of the pituitary adenoma and ACTH and [alpha]-MSH secretion in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism

Pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) is frequent in dogs. Little is known about its presentation in different age groups and its characteristics. Dividing the population under study (n =107) into three age groups we observed that 11.2% were young, 51.4% adults and 37.4% aged. Using magneti...

Zusammenfassung:Pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) is frequent in dogs. Little is known about its presentation in different age groups and its characteristics. Dividing the population under study (n =107) into three age groups we observed that 11.2% were young, 51.4% adults and 37.4% aged. Using magnetic resonance, pituitary tumours were intra-sellar (IS) in 30.8% and extra-sellar (ES) in 62.6% and the pars intermedia (PI) was affected in 6.5%. ES are predominant in females and IS in males (p
