A neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) was introduced to 1, 2 and 3 day old male Wistar rats. Falck-Hillarp histochemical fluorescent method was used to analyze hypothalamic and hypophysial structures containing catecholamines. Statistically reliable decrease in catecholamine fluorescence intensity in hypothalamus and hypophysis, accumulation of catecholamines in nerve cells of supraoptic nucleus and in tanycytes of median eminence differed in 25- and 90-days rats. Disturbance of catecholaminergic systems of hypothalamus and hypophysis induced by neonatal introduction of 6-OHDA leads to reliable relaxation of orienting reaction and deep violation of learning that becomes stronger with age.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007030 Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal System A collection of NEURONS, tracts of NERVE FIBERS, endocrine tissue, and blood vessels in the HYPOTHALAMUS and the PITUITARY GLAND. This hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal circulation provides the mechanism for hypothalamic neuroendocrine (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES) regulation of pituitary function and the release of various PITUITARY HORMONES into the systemic circulation to maintain HOMEOSTASIS.

D011941 Receptors, Adrenergic Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction.
