Subacute exposure of rats to varying concentrations of toluene vapours leads to increases of amine levels and turnover in several types of hypothalamic noradrenaline nerve terminal systems. Furthermore, the exposure of toluene in concentrations ranging from 80-3000 ppm and benzene (1500 ppm) produced differential effects on dopamine and noradrenaline turnover within various parts of the hypothalamus. These regions are involved in neuroendocrine regulation and disturbances in the secretion of prolactin were demonstrated after exposure to toluene.

D009411 Nerve Endings Branch-like terminations of NERVE FIBERS, sensory or motor NEURONS. Endings of sensory neurons are the beginnings of afferent pathway to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Endings of motor neurons are the terminals of axons at the muscle cells. Nerve endings which release neurotransmitters are called PRESYNAPTIC TERMINALS. Ending, Nerve,Endings, Nerve,Nerve Ending
D010908 Pituitary Hormones, Anterior Hormones secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Structurally, they include polypeptide, protein, and glycoprotein molecules. Adenohypophyseal Hormones,Anterior Pituitary Hormones,Hormones, Adenohypophyseal,Hormones, Anterior Pituitary
D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
