Pituitary gland, gonadotroph cell, TEM
Transmission electron microscope (TEM) micrograph of a gonadotropic cell of a castrated animal showing dark FSH-LH granules and large swellings of the RER, due to the castration. The lack of sex hormones due to castration causes hypertrophy of gonadotroph cells that secrete increased amounts of FSH and LH to counteract the lack of sex hormones
