Application of some morphometric methods in the study of functional morphology of the hypophysis

The  authors  of  the  study  studied  the  morphometric  parameters  of  the morphofunctional state of the pituitary gland under the influence of the lipid-lowering and anti-atherosclerotic drug ladygynoside. The relative weight indices of basophilic, eosinophilic adenocytes, chromophobes and ADH stroma were calculated. Subsequent statistical processing  of  the data showed that  daily  administration  of ladygynoside leads to an increase in the morphofunctional activity of adenohypophysis basophils. It has  also  been  shown  that  this  approach  allows  a  fairly  objective  assessment  of morphofunctional  changes  in  ADH  and  can  be  recommended  for  using  the  above morphometric methods to study the morphofunctional status of other various organs.
