The pituitary gland is often referred to as the 'master gland' of the endocrine system, as it coordinates the production and release of various hormones that regulate critical physiological functions.

In the podcast episode Hormones, the pituitary gland is highlighted as a key player in the complex hormone regulation system, acting as the 'conductor of the endocrine orchestra'. Similarly, the Dr. Michael Eisenberg: Improving Male Sexual Health, Function & Fertility episode mentions the pituitary gland's role in regulating hormones related to male sexual and reproductive health.
