Effects of neuropeptide Y on gonadotropin and prolactin release in normal, castrated or flutamide-treated male rats.

abstract：:Endogenous gonadoliberin was localized by using immunocytological methods in the hypothalamic neurons which synthetize the peptide and in the hypophysial target cells. The rat tissues were fixed and frozen. Ultrathin sections were obtained by cryoultramicrotomy. In the pituitary gland, GnRH was observed in both gonado...
