Rat growth hormone releasing factor (rGRF)- and somatostatin (SRIF)-like immunoreactivities (LI) were determined by radioimmunoassay in the medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) of the rat with either complete deafferentation (CD) or a sham operation. Two weeks after the surgery the mean amount of SRIF-LI in the isolated MBH was about 70% less than that in the sham-operated animals. On the other hand, the mean rGRF-LI in the MBH decreased only approximately 30% as compared to the levels in the sham-operated animals, the difference being statistically insignificant. These findings are consistent with anatomical evidence that the majority of the GRF perikarya are located in the arcuate nucleus, but a few are found outside the MBH, whereas the majority of the SRIF perikarya are located outside the MBH.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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.
