The distribution pattern of neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity (NPY-Li) in cat hypothalamus was studied using avidin-biotin modification of immunocytochemical method. This study showed cell bodies containing NPY-Li in the periventricular and the infundibular nuclei and also a moderate number of neurons with NPY-Li in the ventromedial nucleus, an observation not reported in earlier studies. Fibers with NPY-Li were noted throughout the hypothalamus, but most prominently within the periventricular regions. The location of NPY cells within the hypothalamus suggests the possibility of an interaction with dopaminergic and other proopiomelanocortinergic neurons.
采用抗生物素蛋白-生物素免疫细胞化学改良法，研究了猫下丘脑神经肽Y样免疫反应性（NPY-Li）的分布模式。本研究显示，室周核和漏斗核中有含NPY-Li的细胞体，腹内侧核中也有适量含NPY-Li的神经元，这一观察结果在早期研究中未见报道。下丘脑各处均可见含NPY-Li的纤维，但最显著的是在室周区域内。下丘脑内NPY细胞的位置提示其可能与多巴胺能神经元及其他促阿片-黑素细胞皮质素原能神经元相互作用。
