[Estradiol stimulation of thyrotropic hormone elaboration in cultures of adenohypophysis obtained from intact and ovariectomized rats]. / Stimuliatsiia estradiolom vyrabotki tireotropnogo gormona v kul'turakh adenogipofiza, poluchennykh ot intaktnykh i ovari éktomirovannykh krys.

The secretion of thyrotropin by pituitary cells in culture from ovariectomized rats treated with estradiol dipropionate was after 3-4 days higher than in cultures from intact and ovariectomized rats. Moreover, 17 beta-estradiol directly stimulated the secretion of thyrotropin by adeno-hypophyseal cells of intact rats in a monolayer culture.
