>did somebody out there ever care for a mother without pituary gland?


My goodness...  This is a fascinating case.    The pituitary is the source of so many hormones or releasing hormones that I thought its absence was incompatible with life.

We can substitute some of the hormones obviously (thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, etc) that the pituitary controls, but has anybody ever thought to make a prolactin analogue?  

I shall follow with great interest.
