The higher the TSH level, the lower the level of thyroid hormone production.
Drugs known as somatostatin analogs (Sandostatin, Somatuline Depot, others) cause a decrease in growth hormone production and may decrease the size of the tumor.
"When you irradiate a young child's brain, say less than 5 years old, you hit the pituitary gland, which controls growth hormone production, " he said.
Any of those potential causes might interfere with normal hormone production, but so far none of them have been proven as a definite cause.

If a pituitary tumor has resulted in decreased hormone production, or if removal of a pituitary tumor has lowered hormone production, you may need to take replacement hormones to maintain normal hormone levels.
This gland is "switched off" during IVF treatment because it controls a woman's own hormone production, preventing any activity which could interfere with treatment which artificially stimulates the ovaries to release an egg.
Once you start, your body begins shutting down natural production of the hormone, thinking it's no longer needed, he explains.

Sometimes it is a normal gene that directs the production of a hormone, such as insulin, or of the cell machinery which that hormone stimulates, such as the insulin receptor.
The gene known as ingap could help by jump-starting production of the vital hormone made by the pancreas.
Aromatase inhibitors, like Arimidex, stop estrogen production completely by curtailing a hormone called aromatase.
Consider, for example, the decades of production of a human growth hormone for below-average-height children by the National Pituitary Agency.
The participants were post-menopausal and had become resistant to certain hormone drugs called aromatase inhibitors that block production of estrogen.
He claimed that a male partner in the delivery room can make a woman more anxious, slowing the production of oxytocin, a hormone which helps the labour process.
