The site of follicle stimulating and luteinising hormone production in the rat pituitary.

摘要: IN A previous publication (Purves and Griesbach, 1951) the presence of two distinct kinds basophil cells in anterior pituitary rat was reported. Evidence presented that one these exclusively concerned with production thyrotrophic hormone, while other gonadotrophic function. It considered latter were responsible for secretion follicle stimulating but observations made at time inadequate to establish site luteinising hormone. More recent have shown basophils may be further subdivided into specific types. One type has a peripheral distribution lobe, under most circumstances, gives strong glycoprotein reaction periodic acid-Schiff procedure demonstration glycoprotein. In interior lobe
