Thyroid Hormone and the Neuroglia: Both Source and Target
Figure 1
Infection upregulates D2 expression in tanycytes of the rat mediobasal hypothalamus. Dark-field micrographs from three different rostrocaudal levels of the median eminence (ME) showing the effect of i.p. LPS treatment on D2 mRNA expression. (a)–(c), Controls; (d)-(f), LPS-treatment. Note: D2 in situ hybridization signal is increased in the tanycytes lining the wall of the third ventricle (III), and in the tanycyte processes in the tuberoinfundibular sulci (arrows), in the external zone of the ME.
