Pituitary tumors originating from clonal strains of GH1B1 and GH12C1 cells differ mainly in the quantities of prolactin production. After these tumors were transplanted to Wistar- Furth inbred rats, only the male rats bearing GH1B1tumors which secreted high amount of prolactinand growth hormone exhibited growth retardation and genital atrophy. Female rats bearing the same strain of GH1B1 tumor and male rats bearing the predominantly growth hormone-producing GH12C1 tumor were not similarly affected. As compared to the control and GH12C1 tumorbearing animals, the male rats with GH,B! tumors had strikingly higher levels of circulating prolactin, moderately elevated levels of estrogen and luteinizing hormone but extremely low levels of testosterone. Histological studies of the atrophic testes and accessory sexual glands of the GH1B1 tumorbearing rats confirmed the hypoandrogenism foundin these animals. The hormonal data strongly suggest that hyperprolactinemia derived from tumor source was responsible for the...
