Subcellular hypothalamic fractions active on ovulation and luteinizing hormone release in the rat. 1977

M L Forcelledo, and M de la Lastra

Nuclear, microsomal and cytosol fractions were obtained from hypothalamic cells by differential centrifugation in sucrose solutions of different molarities. The nuclear fraction (NF) from immature female rats had an inhibitory effect on ovulation induced with pregnant mare's serum (PMS) in immature rats and with luteinizing hormone (LH) in chlorpromazine (CPZ)-treated proestrous rats. The microsomal fraction from the same rats increased both types of ovulation. Nuclear and microsomal fractions obtained from immature male rats were inactive on ovulation. Cytosol fractions were inactive. NFs active to inhibit ovulation significantly reduced the release of LH induced with synthetic LH-RH in immature male rats and in chronically castrated male rats primed with testosterone (T).

D007031 Hypothalamus Ventral part of the DIENCEPHALON extending from the region of the OPTIC CHIASM to the caudal border of the MAMMILLARY BODIES and forming the inferior and lateral walls of the THIRD VENTRICLE.

D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE 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.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.

D010060 Ovulation The discharge of an OVUM from a rupturing follicle in the OVARY. Ovulations
D010903 Pituitary Gland, Anterior The anterior glandular lobe of the pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
