  • Title: Light and electron microscopic studies of thyrotrophin releasing hormone-induced growth hormone and prolactin release in hypophysectomized rats bearing an ectopic pituitary gland.

    Journal: J Endocrinol; 1977 Mar; 72(3):313-9. PubMed ID: 404377.
    Abstract:
    A light microscopic and ultrastructural study of anterior pituitary glands transplanted under the kidney capsule of hypophysectomized rats was performed, in basal conditions and after stimulation with thyrotrophin releasing hormone, at various intervals (24 h-2 months) after transplantation. Confirming previous biochemical findings, the results suggest that with time, somatotrophs acquire sensitivity to thyrotrophin releasing hormone and respond with increased exocytosis at doses that were found ineffective in pituitary glands in situ. Thyrotrophin releasing hormone stimulation did not seem to influence the morphology of prolactin cells, which were already highly active under basal conditions at all time intervals.
