abstract：:Tri-iodothyronine stimulates neurotensin secretion from rat hypothalami in vitro. Propylthiouracil treatment of rats is associated with a decrease in anterior pituitary neurotensin content, an increase in hypothalamic content and an impaired release of peptide from hypothalami in vitro. In addition neurotensin has a d...
