Localisation of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GRH) in the forebrain and neurohypophysis of the trout (Salmo gairdneri)

Abstract
The double antibody immunofluorescence technique was applied to serial coronal and sagittal sections of the brains of the trout, Salmo gairdneri, using an antibody against mammalian LH-RH. Immunoreactive material was found in small perikarya, situated at both sides of the ventriculus communis in the area dorsalis pars medialis of the telencephalon. The axons of these perikarya, also containing immunoreactive material, do not form a tract, but run diffusely in a caudo-ventral direction towards the pituitary stalk. The ending of these fibres has not yet been established.
