Popis: | Histologic sections of the adenohypophyses of humans and rhesus monkeys were examined by differential staining methods and by an immunofluorescent procedure. In addition, the concentrations of prolactin and growth hormone (GH) in the adenohypophyses of the monkeys were estimated by disc electrophoresis and densitometry, and cell counts were performed on differentially-stained histologic sections. All of the glands examined had numerous somatotropes, which stained with orange G, and the same cells showed affinity for the fluorescent immune serum to hGH. The glands of the pregnant and postpartum women and of all the adult monkeys (lactating or nonlactating) contained prominent erythrosinophils (lactotropes) and these bound the fluorescent antiserum to ovine prolactin. The erythrosinophils did not react with the fluorescent antiserum to hGH and the orangeophils did not localize the fluorescent immune serum to ovine prolactin. The lactotropes were particularly numerous and hypertrophied in the lactating monke... |
