Explanation

Acromegaly is a syndrome that results when the anterior pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone (GH) after epiphyseal plate closure at puberty. Cushing's syndrome is a hormonal disorder caused by high levels of cortisol which is produced in the human body by the adrenal gland in the zona fasciculate. Syndrome off Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH) occurs when excessive levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ADH) is secreted from the posterior pituitary.
