Fig. 1 Histologic sections from anterior pituitary, demonstrating normal cellular morphologic features (A) and normal cellular densities of lactotropic (B), somatotropic (C), and corticotropic (D) cells. (A, Hematoxylin-eosin; x250. B-D, Avidin-biotin-peroxidase technique; x250.) Histologic sections from anterior pituitary, demonstrating normal cellular densities of gonadotropic cells elaborating luteinizing hormone (E) and follicle-stimulating hormone (F), thyrotropic cells (G), and α-subunit-producing glycoprotein cells (H). (E-H, Avidin-biotin-peroxidase technique; x250.) Mayo Clinic Proceedings , DOI: ( /S (12) ) Copyright © 1987 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions
