Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox cell An anterior pituitary basophil is a type of cell in the anterior pituitary which manufactures hormones.

It is called a basophil because it is basophilic (readily takes up bases), and typically stains a relatively deep blue or purple.[1]

These basophils are further classified by the hormones they produce. (It is usually not possible to distinguish between these cell types using standard staining techniques.)

Corticotrophs 15% ACTH CRH
Gonadotrophs 10% FSH, LH and hCG* GnRH
Thyrotrophs 5% TSH TRH
