Resumen: In order to test the possible effect of chronic treatment with met-enkephalin upon the LHadenohypophyseal cells, an imrnunohistochemicalmorphometric study was carried out in rats of both sexes receiving a daily dose of 40 pg of met-enkephalin intramuscularly over 15 days. Following the administration of the opioid, a drastic decrease in the cellular, cytoplasmic and nuclear areas when compared to the normal and control animals was detected. Morphologically, the main finding in males was the appearance of irregularly-shaped pseudovacuolated cells. On the other hand, in females a decrease in the intensity of reaction was found. These results strongly suggest a decrease in the activity of the LH-adenohypophyseal cells following chronic administration of met-enkephalin.
