Glucoprivation induced by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) suppresses pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion in female rats. The suppression is enhanced in the presence of estrogen. In the present study, 2DG-induced Fos expression was examined in the solitary tract nucleus (NTS), hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), raphe obscurus nucleus (ROb) and raphe pallidus nucleus (RPa), which have been previously suggested to be involved in glucoprivation-induced suppression of LH secretion in female rats. Ovariectomized (OVX) or estrogen-primed ovariectomized (OVX+E(2)) rats were injected intravenously with 2DG (400 mg/kg BW). The brain was removed 1 h after the injection. The number of Fos-like-immunoreactive (Fos-li) cells in the PVN and NTS was significantly increased in OVX+E(2) rats compared with control groups, but did not show a significant increase in the OVX group. Few Fos-li cells were observed in the ROb and RPa in all groups. All of the Fos-li cells in the PVN and NTS were neurons because they had immunoreactivities to microtubule-associated protein 2. Some Fos-li cells (8.3%) had tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactivities in the NTS in 2DG-treated OVX+E(2) rats. These results suggest that neurons in the PVN and NTS are involved in the estrogen-dependent neural cascade mediating glucoprivic suppression of LH secretion in female rats.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D016760 Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-fos Cellular DNA-binding proteins encoded by the c-fos genes (GENES, FOS). They are involved in growth-related transcriptional control. c-fos combines with c-jun (PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-JUN) to form a c-fos/c-jun heterodimer (TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR AP-1) that binds to the TRE (TPA-responsive element) in promoters of certain genes.

D017552 Solitary Nucleus GRAY MATTER located in the dorsomedial part of the MEDULLA OBLONGATA associated with the solitary tract. The solitary nucleus receives inputs from most organ systems including the terminations of the facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves. It is a major coordinator of AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM regulation of cardiovascular, respiratory, gustatory, gastrointestinal, and chemoreceptive aspects of HOMEOSTASIS. The solitary nucleus is also notable for the large number of NEUROTRANSMITTERS which are found therein.
