The effects of extracellular magnesium concentration ([Mg2+]ex) on thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)-stimulated intracellular free calcium mobilization and prolactin secretion were investigated concomitantly with measurement of the intracellular free magnesium concentration ([Mg2+]i). TRH-stimulated intracellular free calcium mobilization was significantly inhibited when the medium was replaced by high Mg2+ medium ([Mg2+]ex = 10 mM) in normal Ca2+ medium. The inhibitory effects of high Mg2+ became apparent concomitantly with an increase in [Mg2+]i from 0.7 to 1.3 mM. High Mg2+ significantly inhibited TRH-induced PRL secretion in a dose-dependent manner in normal Ca2+ medium. TRH-stimulated inositol triphosphate (IP3) production was rather augmented by the replacement with high Mg2+ medium. In summary, high Mg2+ inhibits Ca2+ influx stimulated by TRH in the rat pituitary lactotropes, possibly with the involvement of [Mg2+]i increase. These results have general importance in relation to high Mg(2+)-induced suppression of the biological functions of cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007295 Inositol Phosphates Phosphoric acid esters of inositol. They include mono- and polyphosphoric acid esters, with the exception of inositol hexaphosphate which is PHYTIC ACID. Inositol Phosphate,Phosphate, Inositol,Phosphates, Inositol
D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D010903 Pituitary Gland, Anterior The anterior glandular lobe of the pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis. It secretes the ADENOHYPOPHYSEAL HORMONES that regulate vital functions such as GROWTH; METABOLISM; and REPRODUCTION.

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.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

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.
