Abstract:
The present study attempts to investigate the influence of the immune response upon the immunoreactive ?-endorphine (ir-?-EP) levels in anterior lobe (AL) and neurointermediate lobe (NIL) of pituitary and hypothalamus after immunizaion of male adult Wistar rats with sheep erythrocytes by a single intraperitoneal injection. The results showed that the decrease of ir-?-EP concentration in AL tended to be concomitant with the direct plaqueforming cells (direct PFC) level increased. In the 3rd day after immunization, when a few PFC began to appear, the concentration of ir-?-EP in AL decreased significantly (P
