    Abstract:
    By using immunohistoenzymatic techniques, cells of 4 pituitary adenomas are revealed with beta MSH, alpha and beta endorphins antisera but do not react with 1--24 and 17--39 ACTH antisera. These data suggest that adenomatous cells are able to synthesize and LPH-like molecule without ACTH. The levels of plasmatic LPH and beta MSH, studied by RIA, stay normal. These results are discussed.
