The anatomical distribution of somatostatin-immunoreactive structures and the autoradiographic localization of somatostatin binding sites were investigated in the brain of the African lungfish, Protopterus annectens. In general, there was a good correlation between the distribution of somatostatin-i

The distribution of various opioid peptides derived from proenkephalin A and B was studied in the brain of the African lungfish Protopterus annectens by using a series of antibodies directed against mammalian opioid peptides. The results show that both Metenkephalin-and Leu-enkephalin-immunoreactive
## Abstract Little information is available for neurosteroidogenesis in the central nervous system (CNS) of lower vertebrates. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the enzymatic activity and localization of 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Δ^5^‐Δ^4^‐isomerase (3βHSD), a key steroidogenic enz
