摘要
Intraperitoneal injection of monosodium glutamate in neonatal rats resulted in a 90 percent loss of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic areas of the brain, whereas the amount of hormone in the pituitary gland did not change. The dramatic reduction of α-melanocyte- stimulating hormone in the brain suggests that its primary source there is the neuronal perikarya of the arcuate nucleus. Copyright © 1979 AAAS.
