Delta sleep inducing peptide inhibits somatostatin release via a dopaminergic mechanism. 1987

K S Iyer, and S M McCann

Delta sleep inducing peptide (DSIP) has been localized in the rat hypothalamus. The effect of DSIP on somatostatin (SRIF) release from the median eminence of the hypothalamus was evaluated in male and female rats in an in vitro incubation system. DSIP inhibited SRIF release in a dose-dependent manner. The median eminences from females were less sensitive to the inhibitory action of DSIP than those of males; however, in both sexes the maximum effect was observed at a concentration of 10(-8) M DSIP. This effect was blocked by addition of pimozide at a concentration of 10(-6) M. Pimozide alone had no effect on SRIF release. These findings lead to the conclusion that DSIP inhibits SRIF release via a dopaminergic mechanism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008473 Median Eminence Raised area at the infundibular region of the HYPOTHALAMUS at the floor of the BRAIN, ventral to the THIRD VENTRICLE and adjacent to the ARCUATE NUCLEUS OF HYPOTHALAMUS. It contains the terminals of hypothalamic neurons and the capillary network of hypophyseal portal system, thus serving as a neuroendocrine link between the brain and the PITUITARY GLAND.

D010868 Pimozide A diphenylbutylpiperidine that is effective as an antipsychotic agent and as an alternative to HALOPERIDOL for the suppression of vocal and motor tics in patients with Tourette syndrome. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, blockade of postsynaptic dopamine receptors has been postulated.

D003701 Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide A nonapeptide that is found in neurons, peripheral organs, and plasma. This neuropeptide induces mainly delta sleep in mammals. In addition to sleep, the peptide has been observed to affect electrophysiological activity, neurotransmitter levels in the brain, circadian and locomotor patterns, hormonal levels, psychological performance, and the activity of neuropharmacological drugs including their withdrawal.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.

D005260 Female Females
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.

D012737 Sex Factors Maleness or femaleness as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from SEX CHARACTERISTICS, anatomical or physiological manifestations of sex, and from SEX DISTRIBUTION, the number of males and females in given circumstances.
