The influence of hypophysectomy on the stores of somatostatin in the hypothalamuu and pituitary stem.
Twenty-eight to 133 days after hypophysectomy of the rat, somatostatin as revealed immunocytochemically was depleted from all segments of the median eminence and from the proximal part of the infundibular stem. A consistent change in the store of somatostatin in the OVLT could not be demonstrated.
