Effects of intrahypothalamically administered norepinephrine, serotonin and bombesin on thermoregulation in the deermouse (Peromyscus maniculatus). 1986

L H Lin, and E B Pivorun

Norepinephrine, serotonin, and bombesin administered intrahypothalamically affected thermoregulation in the deermouse, Peromyscus maniculatus. At a Ta of 22 degrees C, doses of 3 micrograms and 6 micrograms of NE resulted in transient hypothermia (maximum drop of 1.6 +/- 1.0 degrees C and 4.3 +/- 2.3 degrees C, respectively). A 1.5 microgram dose of 5-HT induced a persistent hyperthermia (maximum increase of 1.8 +/- 0.8 degrees C) which persisted for more than 2 h. A 6 microgram dose of 5-HT did not produce any significant effects. At a Ta of 22 degrees C, doses of 1 ng and 10 ng of bombesin produced a transient hyperthermia (maximum increase of 1.8 +/- 0.3 degree C and 2.1 +/- 1.2 degrees C, respectively) immediately postinjection. At a Ta of 5 degrees C, a 1 ng dose of bombesin resulted in a prolonged hypothermia (maximum decrease of 2.0 +/- 0.4 degrees C), while a 10 ng dose of bombesin produced a hyperthermic response (maximum increase of 1.3 +/- 0.8 degree C) at 2 h postinjection.

D007032 Hypothalamus, Anterior The front portion of the HYPOTHALAMUS separated into the preoptic region and the supraoptic region. The preoptic region is made up of the periventricular GRAY MATTER of the rostral portion of the THIRD VENTRICLE and contains the preoptic ventricular nucleus and the medial preoptic nucleus. The supraoptic region contains the PARAVENTRICULAR HYPOTHALAMIC NUCLEUS, the SUPRAOPTIC NUCLEUS, the ANTERIOR HYPOTHALAMIC NUCLEUS, and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEUS.

D008845 Microinjections The injection of very small amounts of fluid, often with the aid of a microscope and microsyringes. Microinjection
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.
