The distribution of specifically stained corticotrophic cells has been studied in the pituitary glands of 11 dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism. The results suggest that the disease is not a single entity, and that some cases are caused by primary abnormality of the pituitary gland whereas others appear to be the result of dysfunction of the hypothalamus or central nervous system. The patterns correspond closely to those demonstrated in the human pituitary gland in Cushing's disease, and confirm that the canine disease is a useful model for the study of the pathogenesis of the variants of the condition.

✓ A technique for the removal of sphenoid blocks from cadavers and for selective injection of the hypophyseal arteries of these specimens is described. Results of such injections are presented, with emphasis on the role of the inferior hypophyseal artery (IHA). The IHA was found to be the most important artery supplying the pituitary gland, and in particular, the structures involved in production, transportation, and storage of the antidiuretic hormone. The literature pertinent to the arterial blood supply of the normal pituitary gland is reviewed.
