Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GH is synthesized from the anterior pituitary gland and is produced by lymphocytes and mononuclear phagocytic cells. Several classes of lymphocytes have receptors for prolactin, suggesting a direct effect of prolactin on immune function. Although the effects of acute elevation of catecholamines on the alteration of lymphocyte function are real, they are short-lived, lasting only approximately 2 hours. Lymphocytes are not synthesized in the anterior pituitary gland or produce endorphins in large amounts.
