CELLULAR LOCALIZATION OF INSULIN-LIKE IMMUNOREACTIVITY IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM OF SPINY MICE, C57B16J AND C57B1KSJ MICE

Abstract

The regional and cellular distribution of insulin-like immunoreactivity throughout the CNS of three rodent species were investigated using an immunofluorescence technique. No principal differences in the content and distribution of insulin-like material were revealed between lean animals and mice suffering from a genetically determined diabetes mellitus.
