Abstract
Effects of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and of bromocriptine, a dopaminergic receptor agonist, on the mitotic index in the organ-cultured anterior pituitary gland of the rat were investigated, using the colchicine metaphase-arrest technique. It has been found that FGF increases the mitotic index in the anterior pituitary explants. By contrast bromocriptine inhibits the mitogenic effect of FGF.Keywords
