Fetal adrenocortex-medulla interactions and changes of pituitary in mouse embryos with an ectopic corticotrophic tumor.
Using a model of an ectopic corticotrophic tumor transplanted in mouse embryos, we now report several new findings. One relates to fetal adrenocortex-medulla interactions and others to feedback regulation of the pituitary by adrenal products or other factors in mouse embryos.
