Abstract

Immunocytochemical double-staining analysis revealed that in the rat anterior pituitary 86% of cells containing the beta II-subspecies of protein kinase C also contained follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and that 22% of these FSH cells expressed the beta II-subspecies. These findings suggest a close relationship between the beta II-subspecies of protein kinase C and FSH regulation.
