摘要：

Immunohistochemical studies were conducted on sections of cathypothalamus to determine the distribution of neurons containing .alpha.-MSH and .beta.-endophin immunoreactivity. A large number of neurons in the arcuate nucleus were stained after incubation of sections with antisera to either substance. Analysis of serial sections suggested that each neuron revealed with 1 antiserum was also revealed with the other antiserum, indicating the co-existence of .alpha.-MSH and .beta.-endorphin immunoreactivity within these arcuate neurons. In contrast, a more diffuse group of lateral hypothalamic neurons which extended from the retrochiasmatic level to the posterior hypothalamus were stained only with the antiserum directed against .alpha.-MSH. The present results largely confirm findings in the rat hypothalamus, although the lateral hypothalamic group of .alpha.-MSH immunoreactive neurons appears to be more extensive in the cat.
