摘要: Dynorphin, an endogenous opioid peptide, mediates progesterone-negative feedback on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in other species. The role of dynorphin humans is unclear. objective this study was to determine if fibers have close contacts with GnRH humans. Dual-label immunocytochemistry performed postmortem human hypothalamic tissue. majority neurons, 87.5%, had and multiple were common, 62.5%. There no regional differences between the hypothalamus preoptic area distribution contacts. More identified dendrites compared cell bodies (P < .001), but difference not significant when corrected for length. In conclusion, form This neuroanatomical evidence may suggest that has effects regulation as seen
