Abstract excerpt
PRL transformation involves a dopamine (DA)-controlled, thiol-mediated decrease in pituitary PRL detectability that precedes and may determine increased PRL release. The present studies were designed to determine 1) whether structural changes occur to adenohypophyseal (AP) PRL during in vitro transformation and may account for decreased PRL detectability; 2) whether such changes occur within AP PRL granules; 3)...
