Renin-like immunoreactivity could be demonstrated in the nuclei paraventricularis,
periventricularis and supraopticus of the hypothalamus and in the cerebellar cortex of rats
and mice, with both the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) and fluorescence techniques. The
findings are consistent with the assumption of an endogenous angiotensin-forming system
in the brain.
