title: Do hypothalamic regulatory factors other than luteinizing hormone releasing factor exert a priming effect?
abstract: Extracts of hypothalamic tissue were applied to pituitary tissue in vitro to see whether they could exert a priming effect on gonadotrophin, adrenocorticotrophin, thyrotrophin or prolactin secretion. A clear-cut priming effect was seen only for gonadotrophin secretion.
