Development of gonadotropin-releasing hormone-1 secretion in mouse nasal explants.

abstract：:Both Snell (Pit-1(dw) or (dwj), dw/dw) and Ames (Prophet of Pit-1(df), df/df) dwarf mice fail to produce prolactin (PRL) as well as GH due to deficient transcription factor Pit-1 activity and have reduced numbers of hypothalamic PRL-inhibiting area A12 tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons.
