Lateralization of LH-RH in rat hypothalamus.
An asymmetrical LH-RH distribution in rat hypothalamus has been found. In Wistar rats LH-RH content in the right hypothalamus exceeds that in the left one; in albino rats a contrary distribution is observed. LH-RH lateralization changes during a 24-h period. Unilateral castration or cold stress lead to a shift in LH-RH distribution in the hypothalamus.
