In situ hybridization autoradiograms showing the effect of hypo- and hyperthyroidism on proTRH mRNA level in the medial parvocellular subdivision of the PVN. A substantial increase in silver grain accumulation is observed in the hypothyroid animal (A) compared to the fed control (B). In contrast, hyperthyroidism results in a marked reduction of proTRH mRNA level in the PVN (C). [Modified from E. M.
