Pasma growth hormone responses to thyrotropin-releasing hormone in the urethane-anesthetized rat. 1975

Y Kato, and K Chihara, and K Maeda, and S Ogo, and Y Okanishi

Intravenous injection of synthetic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) resulted in a significant and dose-related increase in plasma growth hormone (GH) in the urethane anesthetized rat. The minimum effective does of TRH was 40 ng per 100 g body wt when administered intravenously. The maximum responses of plasma GH to TRH were observed at 5 min following TRH, whereas those of plasma TSH were obtained at 10 min. Pretreatment with either T3 (50 mug/100 g body wt ip) significantly suppressed both plasma GH and TSH responses to TRH. The GH release induced by TRH was significantly inhibited by somatostatin (5 mug/100 g body wt iv) which was injected 5 min and immediately before the injection of TRH.

D013004 Somatostatin A 14-amino acid peptide named for its ability to inhibit pituitary GROWTH HORMONE release, also called somatotropin release-inhibiting factor. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the gut, and other organs. SRIF can also inhibit the release of THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE; PROLACTIN; INSULIN; and GLUCAGON besides acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. In a number of species including humans, there is an additional form of somatostatin, SRIF-28 with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal.

D013006 Growth Hormone A polypeptide that is secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation and cell growth. Species-specific growth hormones have been synthesized.

D013973 Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone A tripeptide that stimulates the release of THYROTROPIN and PROLACTIN. It is synthesized by the neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, TRH (was called TRF) stimulates the release of TSH and PRL from the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.
