[Immunocytologic analysis, in rat hypothalamus, of neurons producing peptides related to endorphin, ACTH, MSH and beta-LPH. Comparison with other peptidergic and monoaminergic neurons]
Abstract
In rat hypothalamus intraventricularly injected with colchicine, the same neurons of the ventral region are stained with I.S. against alpha and beta-endorphin, (1-24) and (17-39) ACTH, alpha and beta-MSH, and beta-LPH. They are distinct from those producing LH-RH, somatostatin, neurophysin, and dopamine. These results suggest that the same neurons elaborate peptides identical with or immunologically related to endorphins, ACTH, alpha-MSH and beta-LPH, probably issued from a common precursor.
