Growth hormone and ACTH in the pituitary of normal and anencephalic human fetuses: immunocytochemical evidence for hypothalamic influences during development.

abstract：:Cell-intact patch-clamp recording was used to determine the electrophysiological responses of sheep anterior pituitary gonadotropes to stimulation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Cells were identified prior to recording by reverse haemolytic plaque assay (RHPA), or using morphological criteria in preparati...
