Disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary connection was performed by ablating the arcuate-median eminence (ARC-ME) region in adult male rats. Fifteen days later, there was a significant reduction in pituitary mass, adrenal and testicular weight and an increase in water consumption and serum prolactin levels indicating the elimination of hypothalamic influence on the pituitary gland in the ARC-ME group when compared to controls. Anterior pituitary VIP content was also significantly reduced in the lesion group. These data suggest that the hypothalamus is involved in the regulation of pituitary VIP.
