Radiolabeled peptide content in neurons from selected clusters of the cerebral ganglia. Incorporation into peptides is represented as the percentage of total radioactivity recovered from HPLC runs to compensate for the wide range of sizes of the neuronal cell bodies. In addition, the radioactivity associated with CP2 was divided by 3, because this peptide contains three methionine residues, whereas CP1 and FMRFamide each contain one methionine residue. Values are mean ± SEM, with n = 9 for Bb, 9 for G, 10 for H, and 4 for Bn neurons.
