Effects of Chronic Stress on Pituitary Hormone Release Induced by Combined Hemi-Extirpation of the Thyroid, Adrenal and Ovary in Rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Morphologic and hormonal changes, induced by combined ablation of a thyroid lobe, one adrenal and one ovary, were studied over a 15-day period in rats, some of whom were subjected to 8 h of daily immobilization. The compensatory hypertrophy (CH) of the contralateral glands in non-stressed animals was associated with a significant increase in the plasma levels of LH (from the 1st to the 10th day), prolactin (PRL, from the 3rd to the 6th day), FSH (on the 3rd day) and corticosterone (from the 6th to the 15th day), whereas GH titers were not altered. Immobilization for 1, 3, 6, 10 or 15 days inhibited the b.w. gain, induced involution of the thymus, enhanced compensatory enlargement of the adrenal, and blocked the CH of the ovary and, to a lesser degree, of the thyroid. This chronic stressor produced a marked rise in plasma corticosterone, antagonized the surge of PRL, FSH and LH, and decreased the plasma levels of GH. On the basis of these morphological and hormonal variations, it appears that severe chronic stress in hemi-thyroidectomized-adrenalectomized-ovariectomized animals further increases the ACTH response but antagonizes the increased secretion of the other pituitary hormones.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
