Immunocytochemical Localization of Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor in the Rat Hypothalamus*
Abstract
The distribution of GRF-immunoreactive structures in the rat hypothalamus was studied after colchicine treatment with peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemistry in vibratome sections. The majority of the GRF-immunoreactive cell bodies were found in the arcuate nucleus and the medial perifornical region of the lateral hypothalamus. Scattered cells were seen in the lateral basal hypothalamus, the medial and lateral portions of the ventromedial nucleus, and the dorsomedial and paraventricular nuclei. Fibers from the perifornical cell bodies formed a fan-like projection to the median eminence, where a dense accumulation of GRF-containing processes and terminals was found. GRF terminals were located in the central regions of the median eminence. The localization of GRF-immunoreactive structures in the hypothalamus and median eminence reinforces the view that GRF plays a physiological role in the regulation of pituitary function.

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.
