Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been well-characterized with respect to its role as a trophic agent for various peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) neuronal populations. Recent evidence indicates that NGF may also play a functional role in endocrine systems, although inves

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used for the determination in vivo of rat pituitary size. In midsagittal T2-weighted sections the pituitary, having a lower T2 value than the surrounding tissue, was visible with pronounced contrast. The size has been estimated by pixel counting. A close cor
The inability of young female guinea pigs to display progesterone-facilitated lordosis has been attributed, in part, to a deficiency in the concentration of hypothalamic estradiol-induced progestin receptors, as measured by in vitro binding assays. An immunocytochemical technique was used to ascerta
