In vitro corticosteroids stimulate GH synthesis by pituitary cells, while in vivo they suppress stimulated plasma GH levels. In this study we investigated in rats the effect of hydrocortisone administration for 2-4 weeks on pituitary GH content. Hydrocortisone added to the drinking water (100 mg/l) resulted in a marked stimulation of pituitary GH content after 3 and 4 weeks of treatment. No significant stimulation, however, was observed on basal GH release by the pituitary gland incubated in vitro. Further, we found that both Prl content and release were inhibited by hydrocortisone administration.
