Figure 9

(A1-3) β-endorphin-immunofluorescence in a brain with low-level POMC in tanycytes (same brain as in Fig. 6.). (B1-3) Higher magnification of boxed areas in A1-A3 shows a β-endorphin-immunoreactive β2 tanycyte and γ tanycytes in the median eminence (arrows in B1); the lack of signal in α2 and β1 tanycytes (B2); and numerous immunopositive γ tanycytes in the pituitary stalk (B3). (C1-3). β-endorphin-immunofluorescence in a brain with high-level POMC in tanycytes (same brain as in Fig. 7.). Arrow on C2 indicates intensely labeled tanycyte endfeet in the lateral median eminence. (D1-D3) Higher magnification of boxed areas in C1-C3 shows β-endorphin-immunoreactive β2 tanycytes and γ tanycytes in the median eminence (D1); α2 and β1 tanycyte cell bodies and processes (arrows); and intensely labeled β2 and γ tanycytes of the pituitary stalk (D3). 3v, third ventricle; Inf, infundibular stalk; ME, median eminence. Scale bar: 100μm on A (for A and C); 50μm on B (for B, D).
