title: Immunohistological study of the anterior pituitary gland - pars distalis and pars intermedia - in dwarf mice.
abstract: This immunohistological study of the anterior pituitary gland in Snell-Bagg dwarf mice demonstrates a total absence therein of somatotropin prolactin and thyrotropic cells. Gonadotropin, melanocorticotropic, LPH- and endorphin-positive cells are well developed; they appear to be hypertrophied and more numerous than in normal animals.
