Abstract:
:Brain and anterior pituitary growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) were measured during fetal, neonatal, and pubertal life and into adulthood. Immunoassayable GH and TSH could be found in the fetal whole brain before their detection in the fetal pituitary. Developmental patterns of pituitary and brain hormones differed in that pituitary hormones showed a gradual rise in levels from birth to puberty at approximately 20 days of age. Biochemically similar, brain-based peptides demonstrated a remarkable preparturitional surge in concentrations that was limited to a few days immediately preceding birth. Twenty-four hours after birth, brain GH, TSH, and LH had dropped to levels equal to or less than concentrations in the neonatal pituitary and subsequently rose to adult levels around the time of puberty. In these studies it could be shown that both the placental-fetal barrier and the neonatal blood-brain barrier were intact. These observations indicate the presence of two biochemically and immunologically similar but topographically distinct pools of peptides present in the developing brain and in the anterior pituitary gland.
