Recent studies have shown that reptilian hypothalamic extract contains a prolactin releasing factor capable of acting on repitilian pituitary glands when incubated in vitro (Nicoll, Fiorindo, McKenee & Parsons, 1970; Hall, Chadwick & Callard, 1975b). It has also been suggested that steroids may influence the secretion of prolactin in reptiles (Callard, Doolittle, Banks & Chan, 1972). Müller, Sawano & Schally (1967) found evidence for a reptilian growth hormone (GH) releasing factor using a heterologous system. We have examined the control of the secretion of prolactin, GH and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland of the painted terrapin in vitro.

Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
