In this paper, we describe the results of a series of experiments which have examined the distribution within the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus of neurons containing the following immunoreactivities: TH-LI, GAD-LI, NT-LI, GAL-LI, GRF-LI, Met-ENK-LI, Leu-ENK-LI, Met-ENK-7-LI, Met-ENK-8-LI, metorphamide-LI, DYN-LI, NPY-LI, SOM-LI, FMRFamide-LI, and CLIP-LI and ependymal tanycytes containing DARPP-32-LI. Using elution-restaining and double antibody staining techniques we have established numerous patterns of coexistence of these various neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. Thus, neurons containing TH-LI were, in some instances, also found to contain GAD-LI, NT-LI, GAL-LI, GRF-LI, Met-ENK-8-LI, Leu-ENK-LI, or DYN-LI or combinations of these compounds. For example, some TH-IR neurons also contained GAL-LI and GRF-LI, while other TH-IR. neurons were also seen to contain GRF- and NT-LI. These neurons may, in fact, contain even more compounds. NPY-IR neurons and those containing SOM-LI and CLIP-LI were distinct and separate from those containing TH-LI. The distribution of these different neurochemical types of neurons and their patterns of coexistence are summarized in Fig. 34, while the relative distribution patterns of immunoreactive fibres in the median eminence are summarized in Fig. 35.

D008297 Male Males
D008473 Median Eminence Raised area at the infundibular region of the HYPOTHALAMUS at the floor of the BRAIN, ventral to the THIRD VENTRICLE and adjacent to the ARCUATE NUCLEUS OF HYPOTHALAMUS. It contains the terminals of hypothalamic neurons and the capillary network of hypophyseal portal system, thus serving as a neuroendocrine link between the brain and the PITUITARY GLAND.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
