Riboflavin-like immunoreactive fibers in the monkey brain.

Résumé

Using an antiserum directed against the vitamin riboflavin, we studied the distribution of riboflavin-like immunoreactive structures in the monkey brain. In the mesencephalon, at the level of the mesencephalic- diencephalic junction, single riboflavin-like immunoreactive fibers were observed in its dorsal part, whereas a low density of immunoreactive fibers was found below the surface of the section and close to substantia nigra, and a high density was observed above the substantia nigra and close to the medial geniculate nucleus. In the thalamus, single riboflavin-like immunoreactive fibers were found in the ventral regions of the lateral posterior and the medial geniculate nuclei; a low density in the region located above the medial and lateral geniculate nuclei and a high density in the ventral part of the pulvinar nucleus and in the region extending from this latter to the caudate nucleus. Immunoreactive fibers were not observed in the medulla oblongata, pons, cerebellum, hypothalamus, basal ganglia and cerebral cortex. Moreover, no riboflavin-like immunoreactive cell bodies were observed in the monkey brain. The distribution of riboflavin-like immunoreactive fibers in the monkey suggests that this vitamin could be involved in several physiological mechanisms.
