Effect of the depletion on brain noradrenaline on the plasma FSH and growth hormone levels in ovariectomized rats. 1978

E Endröczi, and I Marton, and Z Radnai, and J Biró

The electrolytic lesion of locus coeruleus reduced the hypothalamic noradrenaline (NE) content to 28% of the control values and resulted in a marked decrease of the plasma FSH level in ovariectomized rats before puberty. The local microinjection of 6-OH-dopamine into the locus coeruleus led to a reduction in the hypothalamic NE content to 21% of the control level and induced a decrease of the compensatory ovarian hypertrophy and that of the plasma FSH level. The electrolytic lesion of the locus coeruleus or the 6-OH-dopamine treatment failed to influence the plasma growth hormone (GH) level. The observations support the hypothesis that ventral noradrenergic projection is involved in controlling the pituitary FSH secretion.

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.

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

D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D006892 Hydroxydopamines Dopamines with a hydroxy group substituted in one or more positions. Hydroxydopamine
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.

D013006 Growth Hormone A polypeptide that is secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation and cell growth. Species-specific growth hormones have been synthesized.
