Retrograde labeling of hypophysiotropic neurons by local injection of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) into the median eminence or peripheral administration of fluoro …

The localization of neuronal perikarya which have axon terminals on capillaries of the
external zone of the median eminence (hypophysiotropic neurons) has been determined in
the rat after injection of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) directly into external zone of the
median eminence or after peripheral injection of Fluoro-Gold. The retrogradely transported
WGA and endogenous peptides (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, somatostatin,
galanin, or neurotensin) have been detected by double-labeling immunocytochemical …
