Distribution of type 2 deiodinase mRNA in tanycytes lining the wall of the third ventricle. Low power micrographs of a rostral (A) and a caudal (B) section show that silver grains denoting type 2 deiodinase mRNA are accumulated over the cells lining the wall of the third ventricle, the tuberoinfundibular sulci (arrow heads) and around blood vessels in the arcuate nucleus (arrows). Note the absence of the hybridization signal in the upper third of the ventricle (open arrow). Higher power micrographs shows the association of the silver grains with the tuberoinfundibular sulcus (arrow heads) and a blood vessel (arrows) in the arcuate nucleus (C), and the presence of type 2 deiodinase mRNA in the external zone of the median eminence (D).
