  • Title: The effect of systemically and locally administered steroids on VIP-like immunoreactive cells in the paraventricular nucleus of adrenalectomized rats.
    Author: Bartha L, Kiem DT, Makara GB.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1990 Jan 08; 506(2):323-6. PubMed ID: 2302570.
    Abstract:
    Seven days after adrenalectomy (ADX) the number of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)- and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-immunoreactive cells in the parvocellular part of the rat paraventricular nucleus (PVN) increased markedly. Dexamethasone in the drinking water (started immediately after ADX) or its local implantation around the hypothalamic PVN reduced the ADX-induced increase in the number of VIP- and CRF-like immunoreactive neurones. The present results suggest that PVN might be the site at which glucocorticoids inhibit the increase in VIP-positive cells after ADX.
