The size of the neuro-vascular contact surface was estimated along the median eminence (ME) proximal pituitary stalk (PS) of adult rats using serially cut 1 micrometer thick plastic sections. It was found 26% larger in female animals. The dorsal surface of the pars tuberalis was used as reference surface, and its size was estimated in the same way. The average rate of increase of the contact surface with respect to the reference surface was 3.05 and 2.98 in females and 2.34 and 2.35 in males. The reference surface was divided into small components and also the regional distribution of the rate of increase of the contact surface was analyzed. Very folded contact surface areas were found scattered in the rostral half of the ME. Folded areas made up the ME on both sides of the midline and the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the PS, whereas relatively smooth areas are localized along the 2 margins of the ME and the 2 sides of the PS. The results were correlated with the known termination sites of dopamine and various hypothalamic hormone containing pathways.
利用连续切割的1微米厚塑料切片，沿着成年大鼠正中隆起（ME）近端垂体柄（PS）估计神经血管接触面的大小。发现雌性动物的该接触面大26%。将结节部的背侧表面用作参考表面，并以相同方式估计其大小。相对于参考表面，雌性动物接触面的平均增长率为3.05和2.98，雄性动物为2.34和2.35。将参考表面划分为小部分，并分析接触面增长率的区域分布。在正中隆起的前半部分发现非常褶皱的接触面区域。褶皱区域构成了中线两侧的正中隆起以及垂体柄的背侧和腹侧表面，而相对光滑的区域位于正中隆起的两条边缘以及垂体柄的两侧。将结果与多巴胺和各种含下丘脑激素通路的已知终末位点进行了关联。
