The distribution pattern of adrenocorticotropin-like immunoreactivity (ACTH-LI) in cats using the avidin-biotin modification of an immunocytochemical method shows cell bodies containing ACTH-LI in the medial basal hypothalamus, especially in the infundibular nucleus. The fibers from these neurons extended beyond the hypothalamus, into the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus, rostral amygdala, periaqueductal gray, locus coeruleus, parabrachial nucleus and medial nucleus of the nucleus tractus solitarius. The distribution pattern of the cell bodies and fibers containing ACTH-LI bears several similarities to that seen in rats. The pattern differs from that of rats in the fact that the termination in the amygdala is more extensive and that ACTH-LI was not observed in cell bodies in any location other than the medial basal hypothalamus.
采用免疫细胞化学方法的抗生物素蛋白-生物素修饰技术，研究猫体内促肾上腺皮质激素样免疫反应（ACTH-LI）的分布模式，结果显示，在内侧基底部下丘脑，特别是在漏斗核中，存在含有ACTH-LI的细胞体。这些神经元发出的纤维延伸至下丘脑以外，进入丘脑室旁核、杏仁核嘴侧、导水管周围灰质、蓝斑、臂旁核和孤束核内侧核。含有ACTH-LI的细胞体和纤维的分布模式与大鼠的有一些相似之处。与大鼠的模式不同之处在于，其在杏仁核中的终末更为广泛，且在内侧基底部下丘脑以外的任何位置的细胞体中均未观察到ACTH-LI。
