[Role of catecholamines and serotonin in regulating cyclic and tonic secretion of gonadotropic hormones]. 1976

V G Baranov, and M V Propp, and F I Proĭmina, and O N Savchenko

In female rats with normal estrous cycle, in the proestrus phase, a significant decrease of the serotonine level was revealed in the anterior and medio-basal parts of the hypothalamus which coincided with ascent of the releasing factor for gonadotropic hormones in the hypothalamus and for gonadotropins in the hypophysis. The dophamine level in the hypothalamic anterior and medio-basal parts changed in different ways attaining during oestrus its maximal values in the anterior and medio-basal parts of the hypothalamus. No regular changes were revealed in noradrenaline content in the course of estrous cycle in any hypothalamic area. For purposes of studying the mechanisms of regulation of the gonadotropins tonic secretion, the same parameters were recorded in androgensterile and ovariectomized rats. Levels of serotonine and noradrenaline revealed no regular connection with changes in the gonadotropins production, while the anterior part of hypothalamis dophamine concentration in the was in reverse proportion to the extent of gonadotropic secretion. Serotonine seemed to participate in regulation of the cyclic but not the tonic secretion of gonadotropins, while dophamine seemed to exert an inhibitory effect on regulation of tonic secretion of gonadotropins.

Lamina Terminalis,Preoptico-Hypothalamic Area,Area, Preoptico-Hypothalamic,Areas, Preoptico-Hypothalamic,Preoptico Hypothalamic Area,Preoptico-Hypothalamic Areas
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.

D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

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.
