[Immunocytological localization of peptide analogs of alpha-endorphin in several neurons of the lateral nucleus tuberis of Carassius auratus L. and Cyprinus carpio L].
Neurons of the pars lateralis of the N.L.T. of Carassius auratus and Cyprinus carpio display a positive immunocytological reaction with an anti alpha-endorphin serum. It is assumed that the peptides produced by these neurons are similar, if not identical, with alpha-endorphin, but their morphinomimetic properties have still to be established. Peptides of this kind may participate in the regulation of pituitary functions.
