Abstract

The immunoperoxidase technique was used to study the effect of adrenalectomy on vasopressin (VP) immunoreactivity in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus of rat. In control animals, relatively few VP-immunostained parvocellular neurons were found in addition to a large population of magnocellular VP neurons. Seven to 14 days after bilateral adrenalectomy, VP immunostaining increased markedly in specific subdivisions of the paraventricular nucleus. In contrast to normal animals, VP immunoreactivity was localized in a large number of parvocellular neurons. Colchicine treatment, on the other hand, did not significantly increase the number of VP-immunostained parvocellular neurons found in control rats. These observations suggest that adrenalectomy increases the number of VP-positive neurons and appears to increase the intensity of VP immunoreactivity specifically in parvocellular neurons. VP parvocellular neurons are confined to those paraventricular nucleus subdivisions that are known to project to the external zone of the median eminence. Moreover, their distribution pattern is very similar, if not identical, to that of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) immunoreactive cells. Parvocellular neurons on adjacent thin sections could be stained for both CRF and VP. Thus, adrenalectomy seems to increase VP staining in CRF immunoreactive parvocellular neurons, which innervate the external zone of the median eminence.

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.
