Endocrinological studies have been performed in 40 cases of adult hypopituitarism. In 5 cases, unusual features of thyroid function were observed, characterized by the coexistence of low levels of circulating thyroid hormones with a normal thyroid uptake and in 4 cases, a significant secretion of TSH.
