Oestradiol stimulation of prolactin release from canine pituitary in culture

G E Jones et al. Acta Endocrinol (Copenh). 1976 Aug.

Abstract

Anterior canine pituitaries were maintained in tissue culture for 8 days, and the immunoreactive prolactin released, was measured by a heterologous radioimmunoassay for canine prolactin. Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) and thyrotrophic hormone-releasing hormone (TRH) did not affect prolactin release, while theophylline and oestradiol-17 beta stimulated the release of canine prolactin.
