Below is information about the structure and function of the canine pituitary gland. We will tell you about the general structure of the pituitary gland, how the pituitary gland works in dogs, common diseases that affect the pituitary gland and common diagnostic tests performed in dogs to evaluate the gland. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland. 2  Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates the ovaries and testes. 3  Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the ovaries and testes. 4  Melanocyte-stimulating hormone controls skin pigmentation or color.
