  • Title: Ultrastructural demonstration of the catecholaminergic innervation of vasopressin neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the rat by double-labeling immunocytochemistry.
    Author: Ochiai H, Iwai C, Nakai Y.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; 1988 Feb 15; 85(1):14-8. PubMed ID: 2896318.
    Abstract:
    The catecholaminergic innervation of vasopressin (VP) neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the rat was studied at the electron microscopic level by double-labeling immunocytochemistry combining the preembedding peroxidase-antiperoxidase method with the postembedding immunogold staining method. Tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactive nerve terminals were found to establish synapses with neurophysin II-like immunoreactive neuronal perikarya and their processes. This provides morphological evidence for catecholaminergic control of the release of VP, at the PVN level.
