• By electron microscopy five types of secretory cells (somatotrophs, mammotrophs, thyrotrophs, gonadotrophs, and corticotrophs) plus endothelial and follicular cells can be identified and are morphologically well preserved up to 20 h after dissociation. (rupress.org)
  • The gonadotrophs are larger and have granules of different sizes although there are typically fewer of these granules than in the somatotrophs and thyrotrophs. (medcell.org)
  • In conclusion, the present findings imply that an underlying unified signal coordinates pulsatile hormone secretion from both gonadotrophs and thyrotrophs. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Thyrotropes (also called thyrotrophs) are endocrine cells in the anterior pituitary which produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in response to thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH). (wikipedia.org)
  • Thyrotrophs also have many granules, but they tend to be limited more to the periphery of the cells. (medcell.org)
  • 2015). The selective loss of the type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase in mouse thyrotrophs increases basal TSH but blunts the thyrotropin response to hypothyroidism. (sanescohealth.com)
  • 4. Processing to endoglycosidase H-resistant thyrotropin subunits occurs in the presence of brefeldin-A: evidence favoring the recycling of Golgi membranes to the rough endoplasmic reticulum in mouse thyrotrophs. (nih.gov)
  • Thyrotropes (also called thyrotrophs) are endocrine cells in the anterior pituitary which produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in response to thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH). (wikipedia.org)
  • Thyrotropin (TSH) is well known as the hormone of the anterior pituitary thyrotrophs responsible for acting in the thyroid gland, where it stimulates synthesis and release of thyroid hormones through G s and G q/11 protein coupled TSH receptors (TSHRs). (nih.gov)
  • Thyroid hormones suppress secretionof TSH by thyrotrophs and of TRH by hypothalamic neurosecretory cells, gonadal hormones suppress secretion of FSH and LH by gonadtrophs and of GnRH by hypothalamic neurosecretory cells. (freezingblue.com)
