Abstract excerpt
Hypothalamic tuberoinfundibular prolactin-inhibiting neurons show decreased levels and synthesis of dopamine in two types of genetically prolactin-deficient dwarf mice (Snell, Ames) which arise from separate mutations. A reduction to 2% of normal in this neuronal population has been quantified for Snell dwarfs. The present study was undertaken in order to quantify morphometrically the deficit and its distribution...
