Identification and neuroanatomical distribution of immunoreactivity for mammalian gonadotropin-releasing hormone (mGnRH) in the brain and neural hypophyseal lobe of the toad Bufo arenarum
The presence and distribution of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in sexually mature specimens of Bufo arenarum was studied by reverse phase/high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) combined with radioimmunoassay and immunocytochemistry. The analysis of brain extracts with RP-HPLC follo...
