Immunolocalization of FGF2 and AVP in hypothalamic and hypophyseal regions of adult rats: (A) In the neural lobe, FGF2 is localized to basement membranes (arrowheads) and astrocytes (arrows), (B) whereas AVP is found in axonal fibers (stars) and Herring bodies (arrowheads). (C) PVN astrocytes (arrows) and neurons (arrowheads) appear to contain FGF2. (D) It is not clear if the same neurons express both FGF2 and AVP. (E) Most AVP-positive SON neurons (F) (arrowheads) are also stained for FGF2 (E). (Magnification bar = 100 μm)
