Testosterone, cortisol, prolactin and bioactive luteinizing hormone in day and night samples of cerebrospinal fluid and serum of male rhesus monkeys. 1980

C P Puri, and V Puri, and G F David, and T C Kumar

Testosterone (T), cortisol (C), prolactin (PRL) and bioactive luteinizing hormone (bLH) were found to be normal constituents of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of all the 15 adult male rhesus monkeys studied. The CSF levels of the hormones showed a good correlation with their serum levels. The geometric mean values of circulating levels of T, PRL, bLH in all the animals studied were significantly lower in the samples of the two body fluids collected between 09.00 and 11.00 h as compared with those collected between 21.00 and 23.00 h. C levels were higher during the day as compared with the night samples. This marked difference between the day and night levels of the circulating hormones was not observed in a few individuals which suggests that the diurnal changes in circulating levels of these hormones may not occur as a rule in all rhesus monkeys. The serum:CSF ratios for C, PRL and bLH did not vary significantly between the day and night samples of the body fluids as they did for T. This suggests that T is poorly transferred from the blood to the CSF as compared with the other 3 hormones studied. The possible pathways by which the hormones are transferred into the CSF and the functional significance of their presence in the CSF are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D008297 Male Males
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.

D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX.

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.

D013739 Testosterone A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL. 17-beta-Hydroxy-4-Androsten-3-one,17-beta-Hydroxy-8 alpha-4-Androsten-3-one,8-Isotestosterone,AndroGel,Androderm,Andropatch,Androtop,Histerone,Sterotate,Sustanon,Testim,Testoderm,Testolin,Testopel,Testosterone Sulfate,17 beta Hydroxy 4 Androsten 3 one,17 beta Hydroxy 8 alpha 4 Androsten 3 one,8 Isotestosterone
