Pituitary Cachexia Treated with Corticotrophic Hormone
Extreme emaciation accompanied by a melancholic psychosis is sometimes seen in women at or, more frequently, after the menopause. A number of such cases have been investigated and treated at the Bristol Mental Hospital, so that it is possible to describe this form of Involutional Melancholia as a clinical entity (Hemphill and Reiss, 1940 and 1942). Physically there is gross emaciation with loss...
متن کاملInterleukin-2 and interleukin-2 receptor expression in human corticotrophic adenoma and murine pituitary cell cultures.
The production of IL-1 and IL-6 by pituitary cells has recently been demonstrated. In this study we investigated the expression of IL-2 and its receptor (IL-2R) by pituitary cells of different species. In Northern blots, a single hybridizing band of 1 kb, identical to that in normal stimulated lymphocytes, was obtained with specific IL-2 probes. In the mouse AT-20 pituitary tumor cell line, IL-...
متن کاملStudies on Pituitary Lactogenic Hormone
Previous investigations have shown that the ovine prolactin is composed of a single chain at the N terminus, with threonine as the terminal residue (1). Since the hormone protein has 3 cystine residues (2, 3), it might be anticipated that one or more of these three -S-Sbridges may form a branched chain in the C terminus or along a portion of the polypeptide chain. If this were the case, oxidati...
متن کاملStudies on Pituitary Lactogenic Hormone
The Tiselius technique of electrophoresis has been used to study the homogeneity and mobility of pituitary lactogenic hormone. The lactogenic preparation employed by us shows only one sharp band in schlieren photographs, indicating a high degree of homogeneity. From the determination of the mobility of the hormone at different hydrogen ion concentrations in acetate and phosphate buffer of ionic...
متن کاملPreparation of pituitary thyrotropic hormone.
The existence of a thyroid-stimulating hormone in anterior pituitary gland tissue has been known for 30 years (1, 2). During this time, considerable work has been done on the physiological and the pharmacological effects of the thyrotropic hormone administ’ered in the form of pituitary extracts which had been subjected t,o a varying degree of manipulation. Relatively little progress on the puri...
