Journal ArticleDOI
Autoradiographic localization of angiotensin II receptors in rat brain
TL;DR: The studies have demonstrated that AII receptors are distributed in a highly characteristic anatomical pattern in the brain and are consistent with the emerging evidence for multiple roles of AII as a neuropeptide in the central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain and Pituitary Angiotensin
TL;DR: The peripheral RAS is a hormonal system with importanism, based on the renin-angiotensin system, which acts on high affinity ANG II receptors located in the vascular smooth muscle, zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland, and kidney to produce vasoconstriction, aldosterone release, and sodium retention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Norepinephrine and dopamine content of hypothalamic nuclei of the rat
TL;DR: The posterior hypothalamus (premammillary nuclei, caudal subdivision of the arcurate nucleus, posterior hypothalamic nucleus) contains norepinephrine and dopamine in relatively low concentrations, while the paraventricular and dorsomedial nuclei and the retrochiasmatic area are rich in norpinephrine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serotonin content of the brain stem nuclei in the rat
TL;DR: Serotonin was unevenly distributed throughout all the brain stem areas examined, and the motor nerve nuclei seemed to contain more of the amine than the sensory nerveuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone in Specific Nuclei of Rat Brain
TL;DR: The regional distribution of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) in rat brain was studied and the greatest concentration of TRH was found in the median eminence.
