Influence of lesions in the limbic-hypothalamic system on metabolic response of pyruvate to daily repeated cold exposure in rabbits. 1985

The effects of lesions of the limbic-hypothalamic structures on the pyruvate metabolic responses to daily repeated cold exposures in the liver of rabbits have been investigated. The experimental results were as follows: The metabolic pattern of pyruvate and the pyruvate metabolic responses to the 1st cold exposure (cold exposure on the 1st day) were altered by lesions of periventricular arcuate nucleus (ARC), ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), stria terminalis (ST) and dorsal fornix (FX). The pyruvate metabolic responses to cold exposure were completely abolished by seven times repetition of daily cold exposures in rabbits with lesions of ARC, VMH and FX, as well as in each sham-operated group. In rabbits with ST lesions, the pyruvate metabolic responses to cold exposure remained even after the seven times repetition of daily cold exposures. From these results, it might be suggested that the ARC, VMH, amygdala (AMYG)-ST system and dorsal hippocampus (HPC)-FX system played a certain role in the metabolic regulation of pyruvate and in the mechanisms of pyruvate metabolic responses to the 1st cold exposure, but that only the AMYG-ST system participated in the process of pyruvate metabolic adaptation to daily repeated cold exposures.

D007657 Ketone Bodies The metabolic substances ACETONE; 3-HYDROXYBUTYRIC ACID; and acetoacetic acid (ACETOACETATES). They are produced in the liver and kidney during FATTY ACIDS oxidation and used as a source of energy by the heart, muscle and brain. Acetone Bodies,Bodies, Acetone,Bodies, Ketone
D008032 Limbic System A set of forebrain structures common to all mammals that is defined functionally and anatomically. It is implicated in the higher integration of visceral, olfactory, and somatic information as well as homeostatic responses including fundamental survival behaviors (feeding, mating, emotion). For most authors, it includes the AMYGDALA; EPITHALAMUS; GYRUS CINGULI; hippocampal formation (see HIPPOCAMPUS); HYPOTHALAMUS; PARAHIPPOCAMPAL GYRUS; SEPTAL NUCLEI; anterior nuclear group of thalamus, and portions of the basal ganglia.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D011773 Pyruvates Derivatives of PYRUVIC ACID, including its salts and esters.
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
