## Abstract The activity of serum dopamine‐β‐hydroxylase does not depend solely on the presence of exogenous inhibitors: its activity also depends on the rate of release into plasma and is influenced by sympathetic activity or pathological conditions. This fluctuation may disguise the effect of an
Previous studies have shown that gonadectomy in adult male rats induces a complex series of region-and time-specific changes in the density of presumed cerebral cortical dopamine axons that are immunoreactive for tyrosine hydroxylase. The present study asked whether noradrenergic cortical afferents
Interleukin-1beta has been demonstrated in neurons of the rat hypothalamus, including cells of the magnocellular neurosecretory system and tuberoinfundibular system (Lechan et al., [1990] Brain Res. 514:135-140). Despite its potential importance to regulation of neuroendocrine function, however, nei
## Abstract A sensitive LC/MS/MS method has been developed by derivatization of 17β‐estradiol (E2) with dansyl chloride to quantitate 17β‐E2 in female rat serum. The use of E2‐d~5~ minimized interferences from endogenous 17β‐E2 in order to achieve a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 2.5 pg/ml using 15
