  • Title: Pituitary hormones and contact sensitivity in rats.
    Author: Berczi I, Nagy E, Asa SL, Kovacs K.
    Journal: Allergy; 1983 Jul; 38(5):325-30. PubMed ID: 6311041.
    Abstract:
    Hypophysectomized (Hypo-X) rats do not develop contact sensitivity to dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). Daily treatment with prolactin or growth hormone completely restores the DNCB-reactivity of Hypo-X animals. Treatment of such animals with ACTH, FSH, LH, TSH or HCG has no restoring potential. Treatment with ACTH in addition to prolactin or growth hormone antagonizes restoration of Hypo-X rats. These experiments indicate that the pituitary gland has the potential of regulating contact sensitivity.
