[Effect of cold stress on the concentrations in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and blood of beta-lipotropin and beta-endorphin in the rabbit]
Abstract
To evaluate the rabbit availability in beta-Lipotrophin studies we have investigated their brain, pituitary and plasmatic concentrations in basal conditions and after cold-stress. Previous silicic Acid extract and Sephadex G-75 column chromatography, the two peptides were measured through two specific and sensitive RIAs. The results reveal the presence of beta LPH and beta EP and their increase after cold-stress in hypothalamus, pituitary and peripheral plasma concentrations while not in midbrain.
