“…Whether or not this also holds for female rats has yet to be determined. We are aware of the possible errors arising from the inter¬ pretation of secretory function from cytological evidence alone (Dekker & Russfield, 1963) but these errors are unavoidable until adequate methods have been developed for the measurement of hormone levels in pituitary portal or venous blood. Whether or not the anterior hypothalamus is essential for the normal regulation of gonadotro¬ phin secretion still remains controversial (Flerkó & Bardos, 1960;Bogdanove, 1963).…”

The effect of bilateral electrolytic lesions in the ventral hypothalamus at the coronal level of the posterior ventromedial nucleus and anterior premammillary nucleus on the weight and cytology of the pituitary gland of castrated male Lewis rats was investigated. All castrated rats were carrying successful intrasplenic isologous grafts of neonatal testes. The hypothalamic lesions resulted in a significant inhibition of pituitary hypertrophy in the castrated animals, but did not alter appreciably the cytology of the gland as compared with that of castrated rats without hypothalamic damage. The development of castration cells was not impaired by these lesions.It is concluded that hypertrophy of the pituitary gland after castration and the development of castration cells are two manifestations ofthe pituitary response to a low concentration of circulating testicular hormone. The former requires the integrity of the posteroventral hypothalamus while the latter is independent of this hypothalamic region.

“…His materials were 432 collected from autopsy files, and it is likely that only a small portion of the prostate had been histologically examined, rendering the value of his controls rather doubtful. Objections may also be raised against other investigations ( Moore 1947, Dekker & Russfield 1963, Koppel et al 1967 in which no association between the presense of pituitary adenomas with benign prostatic hyperplasia or carcinoma could be demonstrated. This criticism would include both the small number of patients examined and doubtful controls.…”

The frequency of pituitary adenomas was recorded in a consecutive autopsy series of men more than 40 years of age. Among 170 individuals, not previously subjected to prostatic surgery or treatment with oestrogenic hormones, pituitary adenomas were observed in 33 patients (19.4 per cent). The adenomas were mostly small, occupying less than 5 per cent of the section area of the adenohypophysis, and were preferably either chromophobe or mixed acidophil/chromophobe. Using multiple regression analysis, the presence of pituitary adenoma was analysed in relation to the histology of the prostate and several other factors. Pituitary adenomas occurred more frequently in relation to prostatic carcinoma than to other histological groups, and did not show a significant relationship to other factors tested.
