... The anterior pituitary produces six hormones, four of which are tropic hormones that regulate secretion of other hormones, as well as a prohormone. a. Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a prohormone that can be split into adrenocorticotropic hormone, two natural opiates, and melanocyte-stimulating hormo ...

Neuroendocrine tumor
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are neoplasms that arise from cells of the endocrine (hormonal) and nervous systems. Many are benign, while some are malignant. They most commonly occur in the intestine, where they are often called carcinoid tumors, but they are also found in the pancreas, lung and the rest of the body.Although there are many kinds of NETs, they are treated as a group of tissue because the cells of these neoplasms share common features, such as looking similar, having special secretory granules, and often producing biogenic amines and polypeptide hormones.
