TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Neuroinflammation and hypothalamo-pituitary dysfunction: focus of traumatic brain injury JO - International journal of molecular sciences A1 - Mele, Chiara A1 - Pingue, Valeria A1 - Caputo, Marina A1 - Zavattaro, Marco A1 - Pagano, Loredana A1 - Prodam, Flavia A1 - Nardone, Antonio A1 - Aimaretti, Gianluca A1 - Marzullo, Paolo SP - EP - VL - 22 IS - 5 N2 - The incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) has increased over the last years with an important impact on public health. Many preclinical and clinical studies identified multiple and heterogeneous TBI-related pathophysiological mechanisms that are responsible for functional, cognitive, and behavioral alterations. Recent evidence has suggested that post-TBI neuroinflammation is responsible for several long-term clinical consequences, including hypopituitarism. This review aims to summarize current evidence on TBI-induced neuroinflammation and its potential role in determining hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunctions.
