| Abstract: | Immunocytofluorescence techniques with well characterized anti-sera to α-endorphin and β-endorphin show presence of these two peptides in all cellular elements of the pars intermedia of the rat hypophysis, and in discrete cells of the pars distalis (adenohypophysis) at the complete exclusion of the neurohypophysis (pars nervosa, posterior lobe). |
