Question Title: pituitary hypofunction

- Vasopressin (Anti-diuretic hormone or ADH): lack of ADH will result in
diabetes insipidus (DI), if which a patient is incapable of preserving
his/her body water due to an inability to "concentrate" the urine. If
the ADH production deficit is permanent, the patient should be treated
with DDAVP (a synthetic form of ADH).

- ACTH: lack of ACTH will result in secondary hypocortisolism, or the deficiency
of glucocorticoids. The symptoms include nause, vomiting, weakness,
fatigue, fever, and hypotension. The treatment is corticoid replacement,
usually with oral prednisone.

- TSH: hypothyroidism will result from lack TSH, and will manifest as
lethargy, weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation.

For pre-menopausal women, a deficiency in LH and FSH without proper replacement
will result in amenorhea, and subsequent sterility.

I hope this information is helpful. Best of luck.
