Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Radiofrequency lesions of the anterior hypothalamic area reduced immunoreactive dynorphin (ir-DYN) in the hypothalamus and in the neurointermediate lobe of the pituitary. Ablation of the medial preoptic area was not associated with any significant modification of ir-DYN in the tissue examined. Destruction of the medial basal hypothalamus in parallel lowered ir-DYN in the hypothalamus and in both pituitary lobes. Neonatal administration of monosodium glutamate had no significant effect on ir-DYN. These findings indicate that changes of ir-DYN in the hypothalamus and pituitary are associated with the destruction of anatomically and functionally distinct neural systems.
