Abstract

Changes in the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the human fetal pituitary were studied by biological methods. FSH was detected in the fetal pituitary throughout the period of investigation: from the 8th to the 34th week. From the 17th to the 34th week of intrauterine development considerable sex differences were found both in the total and the relative content of the hormone in the gland.
