In an experiment performed to investigate the effect of LH-RH on the anterior pituitary of rats, we studied the changes in the concentration of 3',5'-cyclic AMP in the anterior pituitary and the uridine uptake by the anterior pituitary following the intravenous injection of 100 ng LH-RH. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) The tissue level of 3',5'-cyclic AMP in the anterior pituitary reached the highest peak 15 min after the injection of LH-RH. 2) The uridine uptake of the anterior pituitary began to increase 15 min after the LH-RH injection and attained a maximum level (5 to 6 times the normal level) in 30 min. 3) The fact that the uridine uptake was inhibited to a considerable extent by the addition of actinomycin D to the incubation medium suggested that uridine was incorporated into the RNA fraction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
