The effect of hypothalamic lesions on the melanocyte-stimulating hormone content and histology of the pars intermedia of the rat pituitary gland.
    The Journal of physiology, 1969, Volume: 203, Issue:1

    1. The effect of bilateral lesions in the anterior hypothalamus on the histology and content of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) of the pars intermedia has been studied in the adult male rat.2. By 7-15 days striking histological changes, suggestive of hyperactivity, were evident. These changes were accompanied by an elevated MSH content, which was particularly noticeable at 7 days.3. By 7 days there was an increase in the acid phosphatase activity of pars intermedia cells, as demonstrated histochemically.4. It was concluded that a hypothalamic control system exists for the mammalian pars intermedia and may involve both inhibitory and excitatory components.
