Distribution and release of immunoreactive thyroid-stimulating hormone in the rat hypothalamus: effects of thyroidectomy, hypophysectomy and treatment with thyroid hormones.

abstract：:Somatotropes and GC cells, a GH-producing cell line, exhibit [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations that result from rhythmic Ca(2+) action potentials. Determination of this operating mode required simultaneous recording of both parameters by fura-2 imaging and patch-clamp techniques. In order to test whether patch recording induce...
