In mature as well as in prebuberal rats protein deficient diets activate the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system, which is morphologically characterised by the decrease of neurosecret in the posterior pituitary and the increase of the cell nuclear volume of the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. The neuronal activity is stimulated significantly stronger by a protein deficient diet with addition of some essential amino acids (lysine, tryptophane, threonine and isoleucine) than by an extremely deficient protein diet in so far as it occurs in the cell nuclear volume of both neurosecretoric hypothalamic nuclei.
在成年大鼠和幼龄大鼠中，蛋白质缺乏饮食会激活下丘脑 - 神经垂体系统，其形态学特征为垂体后叶神经分泌物质减少，以及视上核和室旁核的细胞核体积增大。与极度缺乏蛋白质的饮食相比，添加了一些必需氨基酸（赖氨酸、色氨酸、苏氨酸和异亮氨酸）的蛋白质缺乏饮食对神经元活动的刺激明显更强，这体现在两个神经分泌性下丘脑核的细胞核体积变化上。
