Abstract
Sections of rat hypothalamus were examined immunocytochemically for coexistence of atrial natriuretic factor (cardiodilatin) and oxytocin. These biosynthetically unrelated neuropeptides were demonstrated using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method followed by immunofluorescence. Neurons immunoreactive for atrial natriuretic factor were found in the supraoptic, periventricular and paraventricular nuclei. A sub-population of these neurons contained oxytocin-like immunoreactivity. They constitute only a small portion of the total number of oxytocinergic neurons.Entities:
