MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING AND CORTICOTROPHIC ACTIVITIES IN HUMAN FOETAL PITUITARY GLANDS
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACT Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) and corticotrophin (ACTH) activities were determined in the pituitary glands of 24 human foetuses ranging in gestational age from 11 to 23 weeks. Both hormonal activities were present in every pituitary gland examined. The foetal developmental factors were significantly correlated as were the MSH and ACTH activities. Although the mU per mg of ACTH correlated negatively with development, no correlation between MSH and development was found.
