Treatment of Cushing's disease (C.D.) by transphenoidal microadenectomy (Tr.M.) in childhood and adolescence
The efficacy of Tr.M. in the treatment of C.D. in children and adolescents has not been assessed. We treated 8 patients (7-6/12-18-9/12 yrs old) with C.D. by Tr.M. (followup 8-72 months post-operatively). Grow...

Endocrinologic, biochemical and histologic characterization of an ectopic ACTH producing carcinoma in childhood
We studied a 10 yr old boy with Cushing's syndrome due to an ACTH secreting islet cell carcinoma of the pancreas. He had rapid weight gain, abdominal distention, proximal weakness but no hirsutism or striae. H...

Down-regulation of gonadotropin release by the ovine fetal pituitary gland by the superagonist D-Trp6pro9NET-LRF
D-Trp6Pro9NET-LRF (Trp6-LRF) a superagonist analogue of LRF has caused suppression of gonadotropin secretion when administered chronically in animals and in humans, but has not been studied in the fetus. In 3 chr...

451A TREATMENT OF CUSHINGS DISEASE (C.D.) BY TRANSPHENOIDAL MICROADENECTOMY (Tr.M.) IN CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE
The efficacy of Tr.M. in the treatment of C. D. in children and adolescents has not been assessed. We treated 7 patients (7-6/12 to 18-9/12 years old) with C.D. before epiphyseal fusion with Tr.M. (followup 2-...

383 CORTICOSTEROID BINDING GLOBULIN (CBG) IN FETAL AND NEWBORN SHEEP
To examine the ontogeny and regulation of CBG in the perinatal period, we determined plasma cortisol binding capacity using a charcoal absorption assay. CBG capacity increased progressively from 1.6 μg/dl at 7...

329 THE DEVELOPMENT OP CHOLINERGIC CONTROL OF GROWTH HORMONE (GH) SECRETION
As in man, acetylcholine stimulates GH release in adult sheep. The ontogeny of GH stimulation by cholinergic (muscarinic) agonists was studied in chronically catheterized fetal (term 147 days) and infant lambs...

284 ANTIBODIES TO LUTEINIZING HORMONE IN A PATIENT TREATED WITH GROWTH HORMONE
Many clinical grade preparations of hGH (human growth hormone) are contaminated with hLH and hFSH. However, no evidence of a clinical effect of such contamination has been described. We report the development ...

964 FETAL PROLACTIN (PRL) AND THE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME (RDS)
There is a temporal relationship between plasma PRL, cortisol (F) and pulmonary surfactant production in the fetus. PRL administered to fetal rabbits is reported to increase pulmonary surfactant content. To ex...

339 THE ONTOGENY OF GONADOTROPINS AND SEX STEROIDS IN THE SHEEP FETUS
Using the chronically catheterized sheep fetus, the ontogeny of FSH, LH, testosterone (T), androstenedione (A), dehydroepian-drosterone (D), and D sulfate (DS) was studied in 84 fetuses from 70d to term (150d).

DEVELOPMENTAL PATTERN OF α SUBUNIT IN THE PREPUBERTAL AND PUBERTAL CHILD AND IN HYPERGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM
Glycoprotein hormones share a common α subunit but each has a β subunit which confers biologic and immunologic specificity. α glycoprotein hormone subunit (α)is present in the adult pituitary in concentrations gr...
