Abstract
The authors sought the simplest but still reliable method for evaluation of the functional reserve of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. The proposed test is stimulation of those various functions by injection of insulin, gonadotropin releasing hormone (LH-RH = GnRH) and thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH). The test fulfils the clinical requirements. Furthermore it forms a valuable first step for the classification of more scientific problems.
