Gut-type glucagon immunoreactivity in nerves of the rat brain.
Nerve fibers reacting with antisera demonstrating gut-type glucagon were numerous in certain areas of hypothalamus and thalamus but absent from neocortex and hippocampus. They did not react with glucagon antisera specific for pancreatic type glucagon. Immunoreactive cell bodies were not observed.
