[Morpho-functional characteristics of the adenohypophysis in cardiovascular pathology]

Morphologic examination of the adenohypophysis of 46 subjects who died from cardiovascular diseases has shown a restructuring of the gland, including changes in its nonspecific signs and alterations typical of certain cardiovascular conditions. Analysis of the ratios between various types of endocrine cells and different types of basophil tropocytess in health and disease has revealed variability of these parameters in cardiovascular diseases and in various types of the same disease. Fluctuations in adenohypophysis cellular composition are explained by specific features of the pathogenesis of these conditions.
