ANTERIOR PITUITARY EXTRACT AND LIVER METABOLISM

The lipid mobilized by anterior pituitary extract.

If filtration is required, sintered-glass funnels should be used as filter paper removes some of the dye by adsorption. Sodium bromide is used in preference to sodium chloride or potassium chloride because the detergent solution gradually develops a turbidity (not visible in the presence of the dye) on addition of the chlorides, and precipitates are formed on storage in mixtures of detergent, a...

Pituitary Hormones: Posterior Pituitary & Anterior Pituitary

The pituitary gland, also known as hypophysis, is a small pea-sized gland about 1 cm in diameter and 0.5 to 1 gram in weight. The pituitary gland resides in a small bony cavity situated at the base of the brain, known as sella turcica, and a pituitary stalk (infundibulum) maintains a connection between the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. The secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland is und...

Some Effects of Anterior Pituitary Extracts on Nitrogen Metabolism, Water Balance, and Energy Metabolism

1. Solutions of the globulin fraction of alkaline extracts of the anterior lobe of beef pituitary glands, when administered intraperitoneally or subcutaneously to dogs for 1 or 2 days, greatly increase the nitrogen balance. Urine nitrogen falls markedly, and at the same time blood non-protein nitrogen decreases, while the nitrogen of the feces remains the same. 2. The nitrogen gained may either...
