T4 type II 5'-deiodinase (5'-D II) activity was studied in wild-captured Richardson's ground squirrels. As previously reported for other species, 5'-D II activity was detected in frontal cortex, cerebellum, pineal gland, and brown adipose tissue (BAT); in the median eminence the levels of 5'-D II activity were undetectable with our methodology. When pineal gland, frontal cortex, and cerebellum nyctohemeral profiles were studied, none of them showed variations. Cold exposure for 4 h led to an increase in the enzymatic activity 10-fold above the basal values for BAT, while in the pineal gland the values were doubled; cold exposure failed to change the 5'-D II activity in the frontal cortex. Acute melatonin treatment caused a 7-fold increase in 5'-D II activity in BAT, but did not affect enzyme activity in either the pineal gland or frontal cortex. The data indicate that 5'-D II in Richardson's ground squirrel shows classical localizations. Additionally, two new regulatory factors of 5'-D II are reported, i.e. melatonin for BAT and cold for the pineal gland.

D007457 Iodine Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. Radioisotopes, Iodine

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.

D008550 Melatonin A biogenic amine that is found in animals and plants. In mammals, melatonin is produced by the PINEAL GLAND. Its secretion increases in darkness and decreases during exposure to light. Melatonin is implicated in the regulation of SLEEP, mood, and REPRODUCTION. Melatonin is also an effective antioxidant.
D008713 Methimazole A thioureylene antithyroid agent that inhibits the formation of thyroid hormones by interfering with the incorporation of iodine into tyrosyl residues of thyroglobulin. This is done by interfering with the oxidation of iodide ion and iodotyrosyl groups through inhibition of the peroxidase enzyme.

D010870 Pineal Gland A light-sensitive neuroendocrine organ attached to the roof of the THIRD VENTRICLE of the brain. The pineal gland secretes MELATONIN, other BIOGENIC AMINES and NEUROPEPTIDES. Epiphysis Cerebri,Pineal Body,Corpus Pineale,Gland, Pineal,Pineal Bodies,Pineal Glands

D002001 Adipose Tissue, Brown A thermogenic form of adipose tissue composed of BROWN ADIPOCYTES. It is found in newborns of many species including humans, and in hibernating mammals. Brown fat is richly vascularized, innervated, and densely packed with MITOCHONDRIA which can generate heat directly from the stored lipids.

D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
