Pituitary Histology - Adenohypophysis Acidophil cells
- about 65% of all cells.
- rounded and smaller than basophil cells (other stains identify subtypes).
- Somatotrophs - produce growth hormone (GH or somatotropin), stimulates liver cells to produce polypeptide growth factors which stimulate growth (stain with orange G)
- Mammotrophs - (lactotrophs) produce prolactin, maternal numbers increase in third trimester and postnatally in early lactation.
