In vitro stimulation of chicken pituitary growth hormone and prolactin secretion by chicken hypothalamic extract

In vitro stimulation of chicken pituitary growth hormone and prolactin secretion by chicken hypothalamic extract

S Harvey et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

The effect of an acid extract of chicken hypothalami on the in vitro secretion of prolactin and growth hormone (GH) by dispersed chicken pituitary cells has been investigated. Both prolactin and GH release were stimulated in a dose related manner in the presence of the hypothalamic extract (HE). Somatostatin had no effect on the basal or HE stimulated release of prolactin although it did inhibit the HE induced release of GH.
