Using immunohistochemical techniques, we demonstrated oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) neurons in the cat hypothalamus. The OT immunoreactive neurons were found mainly in the paraventricular nucleus, supraoptic nucleus and dorsal accessory group located lateral to the fornix. In addition to these hypothalamic structures, the AVP immunoreactive neurons were observed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, ventral accessory group located in the retrochiasmatic area and lateral accessory group, dorsal to the supraoptic nucleus caudally, and ventral to the medial part of the internal capsule rostrally. We further demonstrated a different localization of the OT and AVP immunoreactive neurons in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei.
利用免疫组织化学技术，我们在猫的下丘脑显示了催产素（OT）和加压素（AVP）神经元。OT免疫反应性神经元主要见于室旁核、视上核以及穹窿外侧的背侧副核。除了这些下丘脑结构外，在视交叉上核、位于视交叉后区的腹侧副核和外侧副核、视上核尾侧背侧以及内囊内侧部头侧腹侧观察到了AVP免疫反应性神经元。我们进一步证明了OT和AVP免疫反应性神经元在室旁核和视上核中的不同定位。
