摘　　要：采用免疫细胞化学方法,对分离培养1、3、5、7d新生大鼠下丘脑促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)免疫反应性神经元进行了研究。结果发现,在培养的1d即可检出GnRH神经元,GnRH神经元占培养中的神经元的12.1％～14.8％。GnRH神经元多为双极,有些突起末端可见生长锥。还发现GnRH神经元之间及其与其他神经元之间,存在有多种形式的接触。这些资料提示,培养中的GnRH神经元,保留了在体GnRH神经元的形态和功能特征,并为GnRH的脉冲式分泌及其调节提供了形态学依据。Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) immunoreactive neurons in dissociated cell culture from newborn rat hypothalamus were investigated on days 1,3,5,and 7 in vitro by means of the im-munocytochemical method. The results showed that GnRH was expressed in the first day of culture. GnRH neurons accounted for 12.1-14. 8% of the total neurons in culture,and they were mainly bipolar in type. There were growth cones on the end of GnRH processes. Various patterns of intercellular contacts between GnRH neurons and between GnRH and other neurons were also observed. These findings indicate that the cultured GnRH neurons exhibit the morphological and functional characteristics of the GnRH neurons in vivo,and serve as morphological evidence for pulsatile secretion of GnRH and its regulation.
