New research reveals cattle pituitary gland structure, potential impact on agriculture.
The researchers studied the structure of the anterior pituitary gland in cattle to understand its composition. They found that the anterior lobe makes up most of the gland, with different types of cells present. Some cells are more active in secreting hormones, like somatotropes and lactotropes, while others have fewer secretory granules. Overall, the endocrine cells in the anterior pituitary gland are at varying levels of activity.
