Abstract
Immunoreactive neurons and fibers were localized in the Rat brain by immunocytochemistry using an anti-ACTH 17-39 antiserum. Neither adrenalectomy nor water deprivation affected intensity of distribution of reaction of labelled neurons whereas colchicine increased labelling of hypothalamic perikarya. These results support the neuronal origin of cerebral ACTH.
