Hypophysiotrophic function of vasopressin and oxytocin
Abstract
We have investigated the effects of lesioning the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) on the secretion of two corticotropin-releasing neurohormones, vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT), at the median eminence. The experimental model was the median eminence incubated in vitro, the secretion of neurohormones was stimulated by adding 48 mM KCl to the incubation medium. In addition, immunohistochemical staining was performed to correlate the …
