People frequently ask, What is single malt whiskey? in liquor stores, restaurants and bars. The answer to What is single malt whiskey? is deceptively simple. Single malt whiskey is whiskey that has been made from barley (almost always), water and yeast.
This condition may occur because of disease in the pituitary or hypothalamus (a part of the brain that contains hormones that control the pituitary gland). When there is low or no production of all the pituitary hormones, the condition is called panhypopituitarism. This condition may affect either children or adults. The pituitary gland sends signals to other glands (eg, thyroid gland) to produce hormones (eg, thyroid hormone).
Hormones that the pituitary gland produces include: 1  Growth hormone: regulates growth processes. 2  Luteinizing hormone (LH): a type of sex hormone, released during puberty (and beyond). 3  Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH): A type of sex hormone. 4  Thyroxine stimulating hormone (TSH): Stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH): Stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. Conditions affecting the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus and some of the other glands mentioned above can cause growth problems.
