Abstract excerpt
The pituitary gland in the little (lit) mutant mouse was analyzed with respect to the cytoarchitecture of the pars distalis and the volumetric density of immunoreactive growth hormone (GH) cell granules in neonatal lit/lit and normal C57BL mice. At 8 days postnatally the volume of GH granules/total tissue was significantly less in the lit/lit pars distalis, and the cells were loosely arranged, as compared with...
