Abstract:
In our previous studies substance P-immunoreactive nerve fibers have been demonstrated in the pars distalis of the anterior pituitary in macaque monkeys, and they have been found to contact with somatotropes. The present study investigated the relationship of the substance P immunoreactive fibers to thyrotropes and corticotropes. Macaca mulatta monkeys were used. Sections of the anterior pituitary were double immunostained with antisera against either substance P and human thyroid stimulating hormone or substance P and human ACTH. Substance P immunoreactive varicosities were found to be in close proximity to thyrotropes and corticotropes. It is therefore suggested that a direct neural factor may take part in the regulation of TSH and ACTH secretion
