Thyrotropin-releasing hormone in rat brain: nyctohemeral variations. 1977

R Collu, and P D Ruisseau, and Y Taché, and J R Ducharme

The concentration of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) was measured by specific radioimmunoassay in three different brain regions of rats sacrificed every 4 h over a 24 h period. TRH concentration reached a zenith at 1200 h both in the hypothalamus and the amygdala but did not vary in the forebrain. These results indicate that a nyctohemaral variation of TRH levels exists in hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic brain areas.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

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.

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.
