Les cellules à prolactine chez la Ratte gestante, le fœtus, le nouveau-né et le jeune

Abstract

Summary. Prolactin Introduction.

Organ culture of the anterior pituitary in a synthetic medium. An immunocytochemical study

“…In the rat, on the other hand, somatotropes are only immunostained at the end of the gestation period (Setalo & Nakane 1972;Châtelain et al 1979) and lactotropes become numerous one week after birth (Châtelain et al 1977). The late appear¬ ance of these two cell-types led us to use 1 week-old rats as a second material.…”
