abstract：:Magnocellular hypothalamic neurons in the rat supraoptic nucleus (SON) normally produce either vasopressin (VP) or oxytocin (OT). Here we demonstrate that many magnocellular neurons in the SON of lactating rats synthesize both hormones at the same time. We show the colocalization of the messenger (m) RNA that encodes ...
