  • Title: Immunohistochemical identification of the corticotropin releasing factor (CRF)-containing nerve fibers in the pig hypophysis, with special reference to the relationship between CRF and posterior lobe hormones.
    Author: Kawata M, Hashimoto K, Takahara J, Sano Y.
    Journal: Arch Histol Jpn; 1983 Apr; 46(2):183-90. PubMed ID: 6349576.
    Abstract:
    Immunoperoxidase histochemical investigations on pig hypophysis show that CRF immunoreactive nerve terminals are distributed around the blood vessels in the posterior lobe, particularly in its proximal part adjacent to the intermediate lobe. CRF immunoreactive nerve fibers are also seen in the intermediate lobe. The distribution of the CRF-containing nerve in the posterior lobe was found to be similar to that of the vasopressin-containing nerve terminals. The functional significance of the presence of CRF-containing nerve fibers representing a new component of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal neurosecretory system is discussed.
