ABSTRACT
The effect of Equine Hypothalamic Extract (EHE) on pituitary weight and secretion of TSH, FSH-LH and ACTH was studied in the rat. The pituitary respponse to EHE was assessed by measuring (131) I uptake by the thyroid and by weight changes of the pituituray glands, thyroids, adrenals, ovaries and uteri. (131) I uptake of the thyroid and weights of the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal and uterus increased in the treated rats, whereas ovarian weights were similar to control groups. These findings indicate that the EHE containes hypophysiotropic peptides which can stimulate the secretion of pituitary hormones in the rat.
