Differential distribution of gonadotropin-releasing hormone variants in the brain of Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris (mammalia, rodentia)

1. In a previous paper we reported evidence for the presence of mGnRH- and sGnRH-like peptides in the preoptic-hypothalamic region of the capybara Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris (Montaner et al., 1998). In that study, the presence of a cGnRH-II like molecule in olfactory bulb extracts was suggested. 2. T...
