Notes:
Summary The existence of cholecystokinin in the posterior hypophysis and its hypothalamic origin have been unequivocally demonstrated. Immunocytochemical evidence is presented for the coexistence of gastrin-cholecystokinin and oxytocin-neurophysin I immunoreactivities in some magnocellular neurons of the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei both in rat and bovine hypothalamus.
