Melanin-concentrating hormone system in the brain and skin of the cichlid fish Cichlasoma dimerus: Anatomical localization ontogeny and distribution in comparison to α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-expressing cells
Distribution and development of the melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) system were examined by immunocytochemistry of the brain, pituitary gland and skin of the South American cichlid fishCichlasoma dimerus. In adults, the most prominent group of MCH-ir perikarya was located in the nucleus laterali...
