Hypophysectomy of the rat renders this animal deficient in the hormones of the anterior pituitary gland, thus causing many primary and secondary hormonal effects on basic liver functions. Biochemical studies of these alterations in the rat liver cell are quite extensive; however, relatively few morphological observations on such cells have been recorded. Because the available biochemical information was derived mostly from disrupted and fractionated liver cells, it seemed desirable to examine the problem with the techniques of electron microscopy in order to see what changes are apparent in the intact liver cell after hypophysectomy. Accordingly, liver cells from rats which had been hypophysectomized 5-120 days before sacrifice were studied. Sham-operated rats served as controls and both hypophysectomized and control rats were fasted 15 hours before sacrifice.

ABSTRACT In male subjects investigations have been carried out regarding the effect of C1- and C17-methylated androstane derivatives (20 mg per day, orally, two weeks) on liver functions (parameters: activities of GPT, GOT, alkaline phosphatase and cholinesterase in serum; electrophoretic pattern; blood coagulation factors V, VII, X and prothrombin; BSP-retention). In addition to the well known hepatotropic action of 17α-alkylated C-19-steroids a quasi-axial 1α-methyl configuration (in 1α-methylandrost-2-en-17β-ol) definitely increased BSP-retention and several coagulation factors. These steroid effects decreased gradually when a methyl group was introduced in C1 equatorially (1-methylandrost-1-en-17β-ol-3-one) or quasi-equatorially (1β-methylandrost-2-en-17β-ol), the latter compound completely lacking from any influence on parameters of liver function under investigation.
