Immunohistochemical study of the pars intermediate of the mouse pituitary in different experimental conditions.
Alpha-MSH, beta-MSH and ACTH have been localized in the cells of hypophyseal intermediate lobe by fluorescence histoimmunological technics. Elaboration and excretion of these polypeptides are enhanced after dehydration or adrenalectomy. The most evident variations are seen with alpha-MSH and ACTH after dehydration, with beta-MSH after adrenalectomy.
