Abstract：
:The presence of neuropeptide tyrosine (NPY) in the intermediate lobe of the frog pituitary was demonstrated using indirect immunofluorescence, the immunogold technique and a specific radioimmunoassay combined with high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). A high density of NPY-containing fibers, was found among the parenchymal cells of the intermediate lobe. These fibers originated from the ventral infundibular nucleus, travelled via the median eminence to the pars intermedia. At the electron microscopic level, NPY-like material was found exclusively in nerve fibers where the product of the immunoreaction was associated to dense-core vesicles. High concentrations of NPY-like peptide were found in neurointermediate lobe extracts. After Sephadex G-50 gel filtration the major peak of immunoreactive material appeared to co-elute with synthetic porcine NPY. Conversely, HPLC analysis revealed that the NPY-like peptide of the frog pituitary had a retention time shorter than the porcine NPY. The localization of NPY-like material in the pars intermedia suggested a possible role of NPY in the regulation of melanotropic cell secretion. In fact, graded concentrations of synthetic NPY induced a dose-dependent inhibition of alpha-melanotropin (alpha-MSH) release in vitro. The lack of effect of a dopaminergic antagonist on NPY-induced alpha-MSH release inhibition demonstrated that the local dopaminergic system could not account for the NPY action. These results indicate that NPY located in the hypothalamo-hypophyseal system of the frog may act as a melanotropin-release inhibiting factor.
