ABSTRACT

The L-Triiodothyronine (L-T3) has a direct influence on the population of somatotrophs in rat pituitary gland. This effect is dose-dependent and induces both proliferation of somatotrophs and striking changes in the synthesis and secretion of grwth hormone (GH). Daily injections of 5 mug L-T3 for 7 days increased significantly the synthesis and storage of GH in pituitary gland, but the GH release was partially blocked. By contrast, injections of 10 mug L-T3 promote rapid synthesis and secretion of GH with removal of the cytoplasmic stores of the hormone and a consequent rise of serum levels. A close correlation was found between levels of stimulation and proliferation or retrogression of lactotroph cell population.

ABSTRACT

La correlación de microscopía, morfometría y RIA de prolactina en la hipófisis de la rata fue utilizada en el estudio bajo condiciones extremas de actividad secretoria. Durante la lactancia se observó una hipertrofia e hiperplasia de las células lactotropas, situación que es revertida con la interrupción de la lactancia. La generación masiva de células lactotropas en ratas ablactadas indican la presencia de células excedentes que son eliminadas cuando los requerimientos establecidos por una situación de excepción es suprimida. Un nuevo modelo de regulación de la actividad secretoria de las células de prolactina es propuesto
