Abstract
The concentration of VIP-like immunoreactivity (VIP-LI) was determined by radioimmunoassay at various times of the day in 11 discrete brain areas and in the antehypophysis of rats maintained on a regular 12 h/12 h light-dark cycle. In the suprachiasmatic and periventricular nuclei the VIP-LI increased during the dark period and decreased during the subsequent light period. In addition, the VIP-LI exhibited complex variations in the locus coeruleus, the periaqueductal gray matter and the paraventricular nucleus, but did not change in the other areas investigated.Entities:
