The distribution of Histidyl-Proline Diketopiperazine [cyclo(His-Pro)], a metabolite of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), was determined by specific RIA in Palkovits micropunch pools derived from discrete hypothalamic nuclei. Highest concentrations of cyclo(His-Pro) were identified in the anterior nucleus (3.5 ng/mg protein) and the paraventricular nucleus (2.95 ng/mg protein), while lower concentrations of cyclo(His-Pro) were seen in the other 6 nuclei. In contrast, TRH concentrations were highest in the ventromedial nucleus pars medialis (3.2 ng/mg protein) and arcuate nucleus (2.7 ng/mg protein). This qualitatively different distribution of cyclo(His-Pro) from that of TRH suggests that not all of cyclo(His-Pro) is derived exclusively from TRH.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

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.
