ABSTRACT
The distribution of cholecystokinin (CCK)-, Met-enkephalin (M-ENK)- and dynorphin (DYN)-like immunoreactive perikarya were examined in the sheep hypothalamus using the peroxidase-anti-peroxidase technique. CCK- and DYN-containing neurons were found primarily in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCH) and supraoptic nucleus (SO). No CCK- or DYN-containing neurons were found in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). M-ENK-containing neurons were found mainly in the PVN of the hypothalamus. In addition, M-ENK neurons were found in the dorsomedial (DMH), lateral (LH), anterior (AH) and periventricular hypothalamic areas. The distribution of these neuropeptides may provide a basis for understanding differences in responsiveness to centrally administered peptides.
