... thalamus of 3 adult ovariectomized African green monkeys that were treated with estradiol valerate and of 3 control animals that were injected with vehicle. Estradiol valerate treatment resulted in a 39% decrease in the number of axosomatic synapses in the infundibular hypothalamic nucleus. The length...

...Ned H. Kalin; Molly Carnes; Charles M. Barksdale; Steven E. Shelton; Roger D. Stewart; Samuel C. Risch To elucidate the effect of acute behavioral stress on plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and β-endorphin, rhesus monkeys were subjected to 30...

...Nicholas David Martensz; Joe Herbert; Pamela Mary Stacey Cortisol levels in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were studied in ovariectomized, estrogen-treated monkeys during either prolonged hypercortisolemia or the more transient effects of a bolus injection of cortisol. Control (saline...

... hypophysiotropic factors that control other aspects of adenohypophysial function. Here we studied the effects of intracerebroventricular administration of GALP on serum levels of growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) in adult male monkeys. The animals (n = 5) were orchidectomized and implanted with testosterone...
