Effects of thyroliberin, triiodothyronine and cyclic guanosine 3'5'-monophosphate on the volume of nuclei of thyrotropic cells in rat anterior pituitary in vitro. 1978

A Lewiński

Influence of TRH, T3 and cGMP on the volume of thyrotropic cells nuclei in rat pituitary in vitro has been examined. A significant increase of the volume of thyrotropic cells nuclei in the culture exposed to TRH, in another one exposed to cGMP and in the third one exposed to both TRH and cGMP together have been observed. The mean volume of cells nuclei within the group exposed to T3 was significantly lower, when compared to the control. T3 inhibited the TRH-induced increase of the volume of thyrotrophs nuclei. The obtained results suggest that the role of cGMP and T3 in the regulation of the thyrotropic cell function are independent and rather opposed. Since TRH increases the level of cAMP in the anterior pituitary, additive effect of TRH and exogenous cGMP support the assumption that both the cyclic nucleotides within the thyrotropic cell act in the same direction.

D010903	Pituitary Gland, Anterior	The anterior glandular lobe of the pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis. It secretes the ADENOHYPOPHYSEAL HORMONES that regulate vital functions such as GROWTH; METABOLISM; and REPRODUCTION.

D002467	Cell Nucleus	Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)	Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D006152	Cyclic GMP	Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013973	Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone	A tripeptide that stimulates the release of THYROTROPIN and PROLACTIN. It is synthesized by the neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, TRH (was called TRF) stimulates the release of TSH and PRL from the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

D014284	Triiodothyronine	A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.
