Effect of hypothalamic deafferentation on thyrotropin-releasing hormone levels in rat brain. 1975

M J Brownstein, and R D Utiger, and M Palkovits, and J S Kizer

The medial basal hypothalamus was isolated from the remainder of the brain of the rat using a Halász knife. Ten to 14 days after the surgical procedure the concentration of thyrotropin-releasing hormone within the island of hypothalamic tissue was 76% lower than in tissue from sham-operated control rats. Thus, much of the thyrotropin-releasing hormone that is normally present in the medial basal hypothalamus may be synthesized by cells outside of this region. There were no reductions in hormone levels in regions outside of the hypothalamic island after the surgical procedure. Extrahypothalamic thyrotropin-releasing hormone does not appear to be produced by hypothalamic neurosecretory cells.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

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.

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.
