The Influence of Neurohypophysial Polypeptides on Adenohypophysial Function

  • Chapter
Neurohypophysial Hormones and Similar Polypeptides

Abstract

The possibility that neural control of the adenohypophysis might be Immorally transmitted to the pars distalis was suggested relatively early. On the basis of his own very elegant investigations and a critical appraisal of all the known facts and literature references, Harris (1948) in a brilliant review expressed his conviction that: “The pars distalis of the pituitary may, in general terms, be described as a gland under nervous control, but lacking a nerve supply.”
