CYTOLOGIC ALTERATIONS IN THE ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND FOLLOWING THYROIDECTOMY: AN ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDY1
Abstract
INTRODUCTION IN THE course of a detailed study of the cytology of the anterior pituitary gland as revealed by electron microscopy, a series of rats were subjected to thyroidectomy. It soon became evident that alterations of a distinctive character occurred in certain of the basophils which served to distinguish them from the basophils stimulated by gonadectomy. The characteristic fine structural alterations which occur following gonadectomy have been described in detail (Farquhar and Rinehart, 1954). Examination of the early response to thyroidectomy has enabled us to recognize the unstimulated thyrotrophic cell in the normal animal. It is the purpose of this report to indicate the fine structural organization of this cell and its response to thyroidectomy as well as to contrast it with the gonadotroph of the normal animal and the castrate. The studies of Purves and Griesbach (1951a, b) and Halmi (1950 and 1952) have served importantly as guides in our recognition of the thyrotroph.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
