Effects of clonidine on basal and cold-stimulated TSH secretion. 1977

U Scapagnini, and L Annunziato, and G F Di Renzo, and G Schettini, and P Preziosi

Clonidine, injected i.p. 20 min before cold exposure, is able to counteract the blockade induced by alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine of cold-stimulated release of TSH in rats. Under basal conditions the alpha-adrenoceptor stimulating agent, administered into the lateral cerebral ventricle (10 microgram), produces, at 30 min, a sharp increase in plasma TSH that returns to control levels at 60 min. When the drug is given intraperitoneally (0.4 mg/kg) it causes a significant decrease in plasma TSH 120 min after the treatment.

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.

D013972 Thyrotropin A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
