AbstractMonosodium glutamate was administered daily on days 5 through 10 postnatally at a dose of 2.5 mg/gm body weight. Counts of remaining perikarya in the arcuate nucleus of adult mice indicated approximately an 80% decrease in the number of perikarya. The arcuate lesion resulted in endocrine deficits; reproductive capacity was reduced, animals were smaller in stature and obese, and the weights of the anterior pituitary, ovaries and testes were significantly decreased while adrenals were unaffected. Light microscopic studies revealed no significant changes in thickness or general histological appearance of the median eminence. At the electron microscope level, there were no alterations in the number of nerve terminals or dense core vesicles per unit area in the contact zone. These observations suggest that afferents to the median eminence from the arcuate nucleus may form a relatively small portion of its total nerve terminal population.

Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 13% comes from its base citations and 87% from the citation network (74 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
