Summary Using an antiserum to porcine ACTH and the unlabeled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique, we have found that ACTH is present in neuronal cell bodies located exclusively in the arcuate nucleus of the human hypothalamus. ACTH-containing fibers are distributed extensively throughout the hypothalamus with the greatest density in the periventricular nucleus. No concentration of ACTH fibers could be observed in the neurovascular zone of the pituitary stalk.
