Neurons containing alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone and beta-endorphin immunoreactivity in the cat hypothalamus.

Abstract:

:Immunohistochemical studies were conducted on sections of cat hypothalamus in order to determine the distribution of neurons containing alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone and beta-endorphin immunoreactivity. A large number of neurons in the arcuate nucleus were stained after incubation of sections with antisera to either substance. Analysis of serial sections suggested that each neuron revealed with one antiserum was also revealed with the other antiserum, indicating the co-existence of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone and beta-endorphin immunoreactivity within these arcuate neurons. In contrast, a more diffuse group of lateral hypothalamic neurons which extended from the retrochiasmatic level to the posterior hypothalamus were stained only with the antiserum directed against alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone. The present results largely confirm findings in the rat hypothalamus, although the lateral hypothalamic group of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone immunoreactive neurons appears to be more extensive in the cat.
