Adrenal luteinizing hormone releasing hormone receptorsLA Bernardo, JP Petrali, LP Weiss and LA Sternberger
Paraffin sections of mouse adrenals processed with antiserum to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) in the unlabeled antibody enzyme method reveal moderate staining in the cytoplasm of cells of zona fasciculata and reticularis. The stain is intensified upon pretreatment of sections with LHRH. Pretreated sections processed with solid phase immunoabsorbed LHRH are unstained. Analogues of LHRH deficient in the C-terminal glycine amide inhibit staining, while analogues deficient in the N-terminal pyroglutamic acid have no effect. It is concluded that the adrenal contains receptors for a ligand resembling LHRH in receptor and immunoreactivity. The possibility is considered that the ligand may be an inhibitor of pineal origin.
