    Abstract:
    Using a preembedding double immunolabeling technique, synaptic contacts were found between luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)-containing neurons and neuropeptide Y-containing axonal fibers in the rat septo-preoptic area. In demonstrating LHRH neurons, we used mainly an antiserum generated against rat gonadotrophic hormone-releasing hormone-associated peptide. Although many diaminobenzidine-labeled neuropeptide Y-containing fibers were seen around silver-gold-labeled LHRH cell bodies, synapses with synaptic membrane specialization were scarce. The fiber terminals usually contained many small clear vesicles and some large cored vesicles. The synapses were characterized with the presynaptic accumulation of the small clear vesicles and symmetric thickenings of the synaptic membranes.
