Tyrosine Hydroxylase in Vasopressinergic Axons of the Pituitary Posterior Lobe of Rats Under Salt-Loading as a Manifestation of Neurochemical Plasticity

In this.study, we attempted to test whether tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the first ratelimiting enzyme of catecholamine synthesis, is confined to the perikarya of activated magnocellular vasopressinergic (VPergic) neurons or is also present in their distal axons in the pituitary posterior lobe (PL). I...
