Abstract
The hypothalamic-pituitary unit constitutes the main regulator of the physiological functions in the organism. In the last years, the classical view about the regulation and the function of the main hormonal axis somatotroph, thyrotrophic, lactotroph, and gonadotroph has changed by the inclusion of new signals and organs acting in the hypothalamic-pituitary unit allowing a communication between metabolic status and hormonal system in order to regulate energy balance and physiological functions such as growth, lactation, adiposity, and reproduction.
