Phenotypic characterization of multi-functional somatotropes, mammotropes and gonadotropes of the mouse anterior pituitary.

Pflugers Archiv : European journal of physiology - 1 Dec 2004

Villalobos Carlos, Núñez Lucía, García-Sancho Javier

Abstract excerpt

The existence of bihormonal anterior pituitary (AP) cells co-storing growth hormone and either prolactin (mammosomatotrope) or gonadotropins (somatogonadotrope) has been described. These cells have been proposed to be involved in "paradoxical" secretion [secretion of an AP hormone induced by a non-related hypothalamic releasing factor (HRH) and transdifferentiation (a phenotypic switch between different cell...
