Abstract
The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland of the rat was studied in tissue culture. Estrone, progesterone and androsterone did not have any effect on the growth. On the other hand, estrogen-induced pituitary tumors in tissue culture grew more quickly in medium containing estrone or androsterone. The anterior pituitary gland produced pro-lactin in vitro.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
