Contribution to knowledge of GABAergic innervation of the intermediate lobe of the hypophysis.
Regulation of the synthesis and release of peptides by the melanotropic cells of the intermediate lobe of the murine hypophysis is mainly brought about by innervation of the lobe by dopaminergic and GABAergic fibres. The present work reports on a study of the distribution of nerve fibres inside the gland by immunocytochemical identification of the GABA contained in the axons.
