Since adipocytes express specific receptors for pituitary hormones and hypothalamic releasing factors, adipose tissue has to be regarded as a fast-acting endocrine gland under the control of the brain. Expanding on this suggestion, the existence and clinical impact of a hypothalamic pituitary-adipose axis is reviewed. The term 'adipotropins' is introduced in order to describe pituitary and hypothalamic hormones or releasing factors that directly target adipocytes by their specific receptors.
