Mouse Pituitary Cells

• Description:

  Research on the Mouse Pituitary Cells is essential to the study of pituitary adenomas (e.g., prolactinomas), hypopituitarism, traumatic brain injury-induced hormone deficiency, Sheehan's syndrome models, and dopamine agonist resistance studies. The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is a small, pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain, below the hypothalamus. It is in the central place of the endocrine system through the secretion of key hormones, such as growth hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin, antidiuretic hormone, and oxytocin. Dysfunction of the pituitary gland may cause disorders in growth, reproduction, and metabolism etc. The Mouse Pituitary Cells are to be used with Mouse Pituitary Cell Medium (Cat. No. ACM0519). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
