Cellular in vivo imaging reveals coordinated regulation of pituitary microcirculation and GH cell network function.

Cellular in vivo imaging reveals coordinated regulation of pituitary microcirculation and GH cell network function.

Growth hormone (GH) exerts its actions via coordinated pulsatile secretion from a GH cell network into the bloodstream. Practically nothing is known about how the network receives its inputs in vivo and releases hormones into pituitary capillaries to shape GH pulses. Here we have developed in vivo a...
