alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone: immunohistochemical identification and mapping in neurons of rat brain.
Open accessAbstract
alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-melanotropin) immunofluorescence was observed in rat brain by means of a highly specific and well-characterized antibody. The hormone was contained in arcuate nucleus cell bodies and in varicose fibers. Dense populations of hormone-containing fibers were present in the septum, the nucleus interstitialis stria terminalis, and the medial preoptic, anterior hypothalamic, dorsomedial, and periventricular nuclei. Moderate numbers of fibers were seen in the paraventricular and arcuate nuclei, the amygdala, the region of the tractus diagonalis, the mammillary body, the central gray, the cuneiform nucleus, and the nucleus of the solitary tract. There is an interesting correlation of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone fibers with regions of noradrenergic axonal projections and terminal fields.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
