Coexistence of growth hormone releasing factor-like and tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactivities in neurons of the rat arcuate nucleus. 1985

H Okamura, and S Murakami, and K Chihara, and I Nagatsu, and Y Ibata

Neurons synthesizing growth hormone releasing factor were detected by immunocytochemistry with specific antiserum against synthetic rat hypothalamic growth hormone releasing factor. Growth hormone releasing factor immunoreactive neurons which also showed tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity were located in the ventrolateral part of the arcuate nucleus. The functional significance of this finding for anterior pituitary hormone secretion is discussed.

D001111 Arcuate Nucleus of Hypothalamus A nucleus located in the middle hypothalamus in the most ventral part of the THIRD VENTRICLE near the entrance of the infundibular recess. Its small cells are in close contact with the EPENDYMA. Arcuate Nucleus,Infundibular Nucleus,Hypothalamus Arcuate Nucleus,Nucleus, Arcuate,Nucleus, Infundibular
D013007 Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone A peptide of 44 amino acids in most species that stimulates the release and synthesis of GROWTH HORMONE. GHRF (or GRF) is synthesized by neurons in the ARCUATE NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, GHRF stimulates GH release by the SOMATOTROPHS in the PITUITARY GLAND.
