| Abstract | Abstract This immunocytochemical study shows that, in addition to the presence of α-MSH in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary, α-MSH-like compounds are present throughout the nervous system: (1) in the cerebrum mainly in association with myelinated structures, in the choroid plexus, and pineal gland, (2) in the cerebellar basket cell fibers, granule cells and white matter, (3) in neurons of the medulla oblongata, (4) in nerve fibers and motoneurons in the spinal cord and (5) in neurites and cell bodies of the dorsal root ganglion cells. No straining was obtained with antibodies against ACTH 1–39 or ACTH 1–24 . The α-MSH-like compounds are localized predominently in neurons, and are probably synthetized within the nervous system. |
