The interaction between dopamine and TRH on alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) release from the intermediate lobe of amphibian pituitary has been studied in vitro using the perifusion model. Dopamine (10(-10) to 10(-6) M) was responsible for a dose-related inhibition of alpha-MSH secretion. The inhibitory effect of dopamine (10(-8) and 3.16 X 10(-8) M) was completely abolished in the presence of haloperidol (10(-5) and 10(-6) M, respectively). It has been previously established that, in amphibians, TRH stimulated alpha-MSH release in vitro and that the action of TRH was not mediated via an inhibition of the release of endogenous dopamine (M. C. Tonon, P. Leroux, M. E. Stoeckel, S. Jégou, G. Pelletier, and H. Vaudry, 1986, Endocrinology 112, 133-141). In the present study we demonstrate that TRH (10(-7) M) reverses the inhibitory effect of dopamine (for concentrations ranging from 3.16 X 10(-8) to 10(-6) M) on alpha-MSH secretion and that the effects of TRH and dopamine are additive. Thus, these results indicate that the intracellular events associated with TRH-induced stimulation and dopamine-induced inhibition of alpha-MSH release are not linked together.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009074 Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormones Peptides with the ability to stimulate pigmented cells MELANOCYTES in mammals and MELANOPHORES in lower vertebrates. By stimulating the synthesis and distribution of MELANIN in these pigmented cells, they increase coloration of skin and other tissue. MSHs, derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), are produced by MELANOTROPHS in the INTERMEDIATE LOBE OF PITUITARY; CORTICOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR LOBE OF PITUITARY, and the hypothalamic neurons in the ARCUATE NUCLEUS OF HYPOTHALAMUS.

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.

D006220 Haloperidol A phenyl-piperidinyl-butyrophenone that is used primarily to treat SCHIZOPHRENIA and other PSYCHOSES. It is also used in schizoaffective disorder, DELUSIONAL DISORDERS, ballism, and TOURETTE SYNDROME (a drug of choice) and occasionally as adjunctive therapy in INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY and the chorea of HUNTINGTON DISEASE. It is a potent antiemetic and is used in the treatment of intractable HICCUPS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p279) Haldol
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.

D012636 Secretory Rate The amount of a substance secreted by cells or by a specific organ or organism over a given period of time; usually applies to those substances which are formed by glandular tissues and are released by them into biological fluids, e.g., secretory rate of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex, secretory rate of gastric acid by the gastric mucosa.

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.
