A study by Medical Research Council-funded researchers has shown that traumatic brain injuries from explosions can cause hormonal problems. Soldiers who, as a result of their injuries, have problems with their pituitary gland may suffer psychological and metabolic symptoms which impede their recovery. Identifying these sufferers will enable them to receive appropriate hormone replacement therapy. The paper is published in the journal Annals of Neurology.
