    Abstract:
    Cell suspensions derived from adult rat anterior pituitary glands were cultured for up to eight days. Prolactin immunoreactivity and/or tritiated thymidine incorporation into DNA of cell nuclei were demonstrated in cells with and without thyroliberin (TRH) and somatostatin (SRIF) treatment. It has been established that (a) TRH, which is effective in releasing both thyrotropin and prolactin, may stimulate cell proliferation in other than its target cells; that (b) SRIF has no effect on lactotropic cell proliferation and augments thymidine incorporation into DNA of unidentified cells; that (c) immunoreactive lactotropic cells with tritium-labelled nuclei are present in each culture, independent of hypothalamic hormone treatments.
