Glutamate decarboxylase activity in preoptic and hypothalamic nuclei of the rat

Experientia. 1978 Aug 15;34(8):988-9. doi: 10.1007/BF01915303.

Abstract

Freeze-dried samples were used for the determination of glutamate decarboxylase activity in discrete preoptic and hypothalamic nuclei. The activity showed marked regional variation in distribution.
