Effects of sex steroid hormones on the expression of somatostatin receptors sst1 and sst5 in goldfish pituitary and forebrain.

abstract：:In the primate, arginine vasopressin (AVP) is known to activate the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and to inhibit LH secretion. In the present study, we investigate the role of the endogenous opioid peptides and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in these processes. Adult ovariectomized rhesus monkeys bearing a...
