title: Quantitative determination of angiotensin II binding sites in rat brain and pituitary gland by autoradiography.
abstract: Rat brain and pituitary angiotensin II (AII) binding sites were quantitated by incubation of tissue sections with 125I-[Sar1] AII, Ultrofilm radioautography, computerized densitometry, and comparison with 125I-standards at appropriate film exposure times. The highest number of AII binding sites was found in anterior pituitary and the circumventricular organs, organon subfornicalis and organon vasculosum laminae terminalis.
