Abstract
Using an indirect immunofluorescence technique, LH-RH was localized in the brain of the goldfish (Carassius auratus). Immunoreactive cell bodies were inconsistantly found in two hypothalamic nuclei: the anteroventral nucleus preopticus periventricularis (npp) and the posterior nucleus lateralis tuberis (nltp). Numerous immunoreactive fibers were observed in hypothalamic as well as in the extrahypothalamic parts of the brain and in the proximal pars distalis of the pituitary gland. Our results are discussed in relation to the neuroendocrine control of the pituitary gonadotropic function in teleosts.Entities:
