Der Einfluss des Weiblichen Sexual-Hormons und der Hypophysenvorder-Lappenhormone auf die Struktur der Ratten- und Mäusehypophyse

Anterior pituitary changes referable to the reproductive hormones, and the influence of the thyroid and the adrenals on genital function.

“…It should be mentioned briefly that histological changes in the anterior pituitary are not confined to a response to the condition of pregnancy or castration. Berblinger (1931) reports an increase of eosinophiles and a decrease of basophiles in both men and women following functional castration by means of X-ray and radium. Borak and Windholz (1931) find a great increase in the eosinophiles as well as a slight increase in basophiles from the same treatment.…”

The Morphology and Biology of the Adenohypophysis after Oestrogen Treatment

“…A brief survey of the extensive literature and the results of animal experiments indicate almost unequivocally th at oestrogens seem to play a decisive role in the development of the histological changes in the anterior pituitary during pregnancy (Berblinger et al, 1923;Brouha, 1929;Lehman, 1927;Baniecki, 1928: Zondek et al, 1931Collip et al, 1933;Romeis, 1940;Ilohltveg, 1934;Wolfe et al, 1938;Schultze, 1955, etc. ).…”
