Neuronal interactions between neuropeptide Y (NPY) and catecholaminergic systems in the rat arcuate nucleus as shown by dual immunocytochemistry
J Guy, G Pelletier - Peptides, 1988 - Elsevier
Several recent studies have suggested interactions between catecholamine (CA) and
neuropeptide Y (NPY) neuronal systems in the rat brain. In order to obtain morphological
evidence for such CA/NPY interactions in the arcuate nucleus, we have used a double
immunostaining procedure using an anti-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) antiserum as a marker
for catecholamine neurons and an anti-NPY antiserum. This double staining, where the first
staining is silver-gold intensified, was detectable at both light and electron microscopic …
