  • Title: Substance P-like immunoreactive nerve fibers in the pars distalis of the anterior pituitary in the dog.
    Author: Ju G, Liu SJ.
    Journal: Cell Tissue Res; 1990 Aug; 261(2):323-31. PubMed ID: 1698123.
    Abstract:
    The pars distalis of the anterior pituitary is known to be regulated by hypothalamic hormones. Recently, we have discovered the presence of substance P-like immunoreactive nerve fibers in the pars distalis of the monkeys. Substance P-like immunoreactivity in the pars distalis of the dog was investigated in this study. A substantial amount of substance P-like immunoreactive nerve fibers with a large amount of varicosities were found. They were widely distributed in the gland, more abundant along its periphery. Most of them were closely related to the glandular tissue, some were located on vascular walls. Substance P-like immunoreactive nerve fibers were also found in the meningeal sheath of the anterior pituitary. They could be followed into the parenchyma of the gland.
