The localization of galanin (GAL) was studied in the anterior pituitary of adult male macaque monkeys immunohistochemically. GAL-immunoreactive fiber bundles were noted in the posterior lobe of the pituitary. Cells immunoreactive for GAL were observed in the anterior lobe, and colocalization studies revealed that GAL-like immunoreactivity was present in gonadotrophs and thyrotrophs. The differences among the monkey, human and rat in GAL-immunoreactive localization may indicate that the regulation of GAL in the three species differs.
采用免疫组织化学方法研究了成年雄性猕猴垂体前叶中甘丙肽（GAL）的定位。在垂体后叶发现了GAL免疫反应性纤维束。在前叶观察到了对GAL呈免疫反应性的细胞，共定位研究显示促性腺激素细胞和促甲状腺激素细胞中存在GAL样免疫反应性。猕猴、人类和大鼠在GAL免疫反应性定位上的差异可能表明这三个物种中GAL的调节有所不同。
