dc.description.abstract	Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) and its close relative vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were demonstrated in the anterior pituitary gland. The cells which exhibited PACAP immunoreactivity were oval or round shaped. Their distribution was similar to that of gonadotropes but the number of PACAP immunoreactive cells was less. Double labeling revealed that PACAP immunoreactivity partially colocalized with luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormone; however, colocalization with other pituitary hormone immunoreactivities was not demonstrated. Our results suggest an autocrine or paracrine role of PACAP in the regulation of pituitary functions.
