Abstract:
:Recent refinements in methodology now permit the study of endogenous peptide hormones in their individual target cells. The investigations reported here deal with the question of whether endogenous ACTH can be detected in its target cells in the highly active adrenal gland of the normally lactating rat. This question was examined with immunohistochemistry. ACTH was found in both cytoplasm and nuclei of adrenal glomerulosa cells. In cells of the fasciculata and reticularis layers of the adrenal cortex, it did not appear inside nuclei but was present in the cytoplasm and on the nuclear envelope. The distribution of ACTH was compared with and found to be different from that of PRL. PRL, confirming previous findings, was not detectable at all in glomerulosa cells and, in cells of the inner cortical zones, was present in both cytoplasm and nuclei. In neither case was hormone found in the adrenal medulla. The apparent feasibility of studying peptide regulators such as ACTH and PRL in their individual target cells may be a focal point for an acceleration of our understanding of how these peptides work.
