(14) Such fibers were observed to leave the posterior medial portion of the optic chiasm and, after arching dorsally, to project into the posterior fifth of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), as well as into the rostral part of the arcuate nucleus.
(15) Surgery confirmed the extrinsic compression of the two vessels by an aberrant fibromuscular bundle resembling an arcuate ligament.
(16) At the hypothalamic level, during the estrous cycle in rats, beta-END concentrations were highest on diestrus I in the arcuate nucleus, median preoptic area and median eminence and lowest at the time of the preovulatory 17 beta-E2 surge on proestrus, before the subsequent preovulatory hypothalamic GnRH and plasma LH surges.
(17) Finally, the GC may influence pain and mood control mainly via effects on enkephalin (ENK) neurons especially in the basal ganglia (mood) and on all beta-endorphin (beta-END) neurons of the arcuate nucleus, while most of the dynorphin neurons are not directly controlled by GC.
