Oxytocinergic neurons with tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactivity in the paraventricular nucleus of the rabbit hypothalamus. 1983

S Schimchowitsch, and M E Stoeckel, and A Vigny, and A Porte

Antiserum against tyrosine hydroxylase clearly reacts with two types of neurons in the rabbit paraventricular nucleus: catecholaminergic neurons, also present in rat and mouse, and neurons also staining for ocytocin and neurophysin; the latter neurons have not been reported in other species. This result raises the question of a possible aminergic potentiality of a subpopulation of oxytocinergic neurons in the rabbit hypothalamus.

D010121 Oxytocin A nonapeptide hormone released from the neurohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, POSTERIOR). It differs from VASOPRESSIN by two amino acids at residues 3 and 8. Oxytocin acts on SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS, such as causing UTERINE CONTRACTIONS and MILK EJECTION. Ocytocin,Pitocin,Syntocinon
