Hypothalamic control of reproductive hormones

Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) was localized immunohistochemically in nuclei of neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the rat hypothalamus. The double immunostaining method further revealed that about half of the GR-positive neurons in the arcuate nucleus were also immunoreactive for neuropeptide Y (NPY).
