Bovine pineal antireproductive tripeptide binds to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone: a model for peptide modulation by sequence specific peptide interactions?

abstract：:The spontaneous activity of hippocampal and denate units was investigated in acute and chronic experiments on adult rats. Spontaneous unitary discharges from both regions were measured before and after brief tetanic stimulation of the entorhinal cortex. An increase in the frequency of spontaneous unit activity was obt...
