Zinc in hypothalamus and hypophysis of the rat

Histol Histopathol. 1994 Apr;9(2):259-62.

Abstract

Zinc has been located using both histochemical and autoradiographic procedures in the neurons of the nuclei of the hypothalamic medial area and in some adenohypophisary cells. Some suggestions about the functional significance of the presence of Zn in these places are made.
