title: Differential effects of selective brain lesions on hypothalamic and pituitary ir-dynorphin.
abstract: Selective radiofrequency and neurotoxic lesions of the serotonergic pathways caused in the rat a significant reduction of ir-dynorphin A and B in the hypothalamus but not at pituitary level. These data confirm that dynorphin-related peptides are regulated independently in these areas.
