The effects of two dopaminergic blockers, pimozide and domperidone, on the prolactin secretion were investigated in adult female rats treated neonatally with estrogens (100 micrograms of estradiol benzoate s.c. on day 1). These rats showed hyperprolactinemia (556 micrograms/l vs 57.7 in oil-injected) and treatment with pimozide or domperidone failed to increase prolactin levels in the adult age. These results suggest that the hyperprolactinemia in neonatally estrogenized female rats is produced by loss of the dopaminergic inhibition on prolactin secretion, so that the pharmacological blockade of dopaminergic receptors is uneffective. The dopamine levels in hypothalamus were similar in control and estrogenized females suggesting that failure in dopaminergic inhibition is due to a decrease in dopamine secretion to portal vessels. 相似文献

The role of the serotoninergic system in the control of LH, FSH and prolactin secretion was analyzed in control and neonatally estrogenized male rats. Animals injected s.c. with 500 micrograms of estradiol benzoate (EB) on day 1 of life, or their corresponding sham-treated controls, were divided on day 75 into the following groups: (1) orchidectomized; (2) injected intraventricularly with 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT); (3) orchidectomized and treated with 5,7-DHT, and (4) sham operated. 15 days later, the animals were decapitated and their FHS, LH and prolactin plasma values measured by specific RIA systems. After the treatment with 5,7-DHT, control animals showed a decline in basal prolactin levels but no modification in basal LH and FSH values. After castration, 5,7-DHT-treated animals showed a reduced LH increase and a more marked prolactin decrease. In neonatal estrogen-treated animals, the 5,7-DHT injection did not change FSH, LH or prolactin levels but did partially or completely abolish the post-castration rise in FSH and LH levels, respectively. These data seem to indicate that neonatal estrogenization induced a modification of the serotoninergic role in the control of LH, FSH and prolactin. 相似文献

Adult mice which had received 10 daily injections of 20 microng estradiol beginning with the day of birth were in a "persistent-estrous" state, showing ovary-independent proliferation and cornification of the vaginal epithelium. Ultrastructural changes of the vaginal epithelium in neonatally estrogenized mice was examined after a single postpuberal injection of 10 microng estradiol and compared with those seen in normal mice to estrogen. In ovariectomized normal mice, the basal cells were round. The nucleus was polygonal and contained peripheral condensed chromatin. After estradiol treatment, the basal cells became columnar. The nucleus was round to oval, containing dispersed chromatin. In neonatally estrogenized ovariectomized mice, the basal layer of vaginal epithelium consisted of round cells with polygonal nuclei, much as in normal ovariectomized mice. The nucleus occupied a large area of the cytoplasm and contained prominent nucleoli. Intercellular spaces were moderately distended. Late estradiol treatment resulted in distended intercellular spaces and in the appearance of the other cell type along with round cells in the basal layers: the columnar cells containing an oval nucleus with dispersed chromatin, resembled the basal cells in normal ovariectomized mice receiving postpuberal estrogen injection. The intercellular spaces between the columnar cells were narrow compared with those between round cells. However, the nuclei of round cells still had prominent nucleoli and peripheral condensed chromatin regardless of subsequent estrogen treatment. This fact suggests that these nuclei do not respond to estrogen. These results clearly show that the vaginal epithelium of neonatally estrogenized mice with ovary-independent persistent cornification consists of a mixed population of cells. 相似文献

Young ovariectomized mice were transplanted with ovaries obtained from either neonatally estrogenized or normal mice at different ages. Cyclic estrus ensued in 71% of the mice receiving ovarian grafts from 3-month-old normal donors. If donors were 12, 15 and 20 months old, cyclic estrus took place in 15, 10 and 0% of the recipients, respectively. By contrast, after transplantation of ovaries from neonatally estrogenized mice, and 3, 12 or 15 months, cyclic estrus occurred in about 42-48% of the recipients regardless of the age of donors. Three of 17 recipients receiving ovarian grafts from 20-month-old neonatally estrogenized donors still showed cyclic estrus. Therefore, in neonatally estrogenized mice, decline of ovarian responsiveness to circulating gonadotropins appears to be inhibited or delayed until at least 15 months of age. 相似文献

To examine the effects of prepubertal steroid environment on subsequent estrous cyclicity and gonadotropin secretion, Silastic implants containing 25, 50 or 100% 17 beta-estradiol (E2;n=34), 50% diethylstilbestrol (DES; n=16) or 50% testosterone (T; n=17) were placed into female rats at 12 days of age and removed on the day of vaginal opening (18-24 days of age). At 80 days of age, the percentages of regularly cycling females in the E2-(three groups combined), DES- and T-implanted groups were 59%, 0% and 59%, respectively. By 110 days of age, the percentages were reduced to 24%, 0% and 0%, and at 140 days of age 6%, 0% and 0%, respectively. Many of these females displayed irregular estrous cycles followed by a persistent estrous (PE) state. By contrast, 89% of the control females (blank implants or no implant) maintained regular cycles up to 140 days of age. At 150 days of age, an i.p. injection of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH; 100 ng/100 g BW) markedly increased serum luteinizing hormone (LH), but not follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), in intact PE females treated prepubertally with E2 implants. After the test with GnRH, PE rats were ovariectomized (OVX). Thirty days after OVX, similar GnRH administration significantly increased serum levels of both LH and FSH, but these responses were significantly (P less than 0.01) reduced when compared with those in OVX controls. Progesterone administration to estradiol benzoate-primed, acutely (3 days) OVX, or long-term (43 days) OVX-PE females did not increase LH or FSH release. These results indicate that exposure to exogenous estrogen or T prior to puberty precipitates the decline in estrous cyclicity associated with the loss of gonadotropin surge response, presumably due to an alteration in hypothalamic GnRH release. 相似文献

Male and female rats were daily injected with 10 IU HCG plus 10 IU FSH from the 1st to 14th day of life in order to investigate the influence of neonatal gonadotrophin administration on the sex-specific differentiation of the brain. When adult, the males showed hypogonadism associated with approximately normal sexual activity. In the females, precocious puberty, indicated by premature vaginal opening and spontaneous estrus, occurred. Furthermore, bisexuality with a tendency towards more male behavioural patterns was observed, but no impairment of ovarian cyclicity. Thus, hypergonadotrophic hypergonadism during the hypothalamic differentiation phase gave rise to bisexual behaviour in adult female rats associated with normal ovarian cycles. The question of a direct or indirect influence of gonadotrophins on the sex-specific brain differentiation is discussed. 相似文献

In the ovariectomized mice given 10 injections of 100 micrograms 17 beta-estradiol at intervals of 2 weeks from 60 days of age, the vaginal epithelium was atrophic when killed more than 2 months after the last injection. If mice given 3 daily injections of 20 micrograms 17 beta-estradiol from the day of birth were similarly treated with estradiol after postpuberal ovariectomy, the vaginal epithelium was stratified and hyperplastic at autopsy performed more than 2 months later. These changes in the epithelium persisted for at least 30 days after transplantation of the vaginae to normal ovariectomized hosts. Neonatal treatments only did not produce such persistent vaginal changes. In view of these results, additional effects of neonatal and postpuberal injections of estrogen on the vaginal epithelium are evident. However, effects of such neonatal and postpuberal injections of estrogen might be transient on the uterine epithelium, since abnormal proliferation was not observed in it. 相似文献

Kisspeptins, the products of KiSS-1 gene acting via G protein-coupled receptor 54 (GPR54), have recently emerged as fundamental gatekeepers of gonadal function by virtue of their ability to stimulate gonadotropin secretion. Indeed, since the original disclosure of the reproductive facet of the KiSS-1/GPR54 system, an ever-growing number of studies have substantiated the extraordinary potency of kisspeptins to elicit gonadotropin secretion in different mammalian species, under different physiologic and experimental conditions, and through different routes of administration. In this context, studies conducted in laboratory rodents have been enormously instrumental to characterize: (i) the primary mechanisms of action of kisspeptins in the control of gonadotropin secretion; (ii) the pharmacological consequences of acute vs. continuous activation of GPR54; (iii) the roles of specific populations of kisspeptin-producing neurons at the hypothalamus in mediating the feedback effects of sex steroids; (v) the function of kisspeptins in the generation of the pre-ovulatory surge of gonadotropins; and (iv) the influence of sex steroids on GnRH/gonadotropin responsiveness to kisspeptins. While some of those aspects of kisspeptin function will be covered elsewhere in this Special Issue, we summarize herein the most salient data, obtained in laboratory rodents, that have helped to define the physiologic roles and putative pharmacological implications of kisspeptins in the control of male and female gonadotropic axis. 相似文献

The effects of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and estradiol benzoate (EB) on serum prolactin (PRL) levels were studied in gonadectomized male and female rats. In both sexes CPZ (25 mg/kg body weight) produced an elevation of PRL when measured 2 hr after the injection, but the elevated levels were higher in ovariectomized rats than in orchidectomized rats. These results reconfirm a sexual difference in the regulatory mechanism of PRL secretion in response to the dopamine receptor blocker. Pretreatment with 5 microgram EB 48 hr before CPZ injection abolished this sexual difference in serum PRL concentration. 相似文献

The effect of T3 upon gonadotropin secretion was examined in ovariectomized (Ovarx), Ovarx thyro-parathyroidectomized (Ovarx-TxPx), or proestrus rats. T3 (50 microgram/-100 gBW), administered late diestrus-2, abolished the LH surge during the critical period of proestrus in 7 out of 9 rats; the rise in sera FSH was not inhibited, although a distinct peak was absent. Administration of 5 or 50 microgram T3/100gBW 2.5h before the critical period resulted in either a suppression or an alteration of the timing of LH release. In the 5 microgram T3/100gBW treated animals the sera FSH peak was delayed in timing, whereas in the 50 microgram T3/100gBW treated rats sera FSH demonstrated two separate peaks during the critical period. Treatment with various dosages of T3 of Ovarx-TxPx rats resulted in significant suppressions (p less than 0.05) of sera LH and FSH. Despite depressed concentrations of sera LH and FSH in T3-treated rats pituitary sensitivity to a challenge of 3LHRH was enhanced. Hence, the pituitary was not the site of T3 inhibition of gonadotropin secretion. Additionally, T3 did not modify pituitary LH content or hypothalamic LH3 releasing activity (LHRH). Since T3 did not inhibit gonadotropin secretion at the pituitary level, a neural site of T3 action is suggested. 相似文献

The present studies were designed to characterize the gonadotropin response to exogenous steroids in neonatally androgenized female rats in various states of reproductive decline. Female rats were androgenized by the administration of a single injection of testosterone propionate (TP) (10 or 100 micrograms) at 5 days of age. Control rats received sesame oil. Treatment with 100 micrograms TP resulted in persistent vaginal estrus (PVE) from the onset of vaginal introitus. Treatment with 10 micrograms TP resulted in a period of regular estrous cyclicity followed by PVE. In the first experiment, all animals were ovariectomized between the ages of 60-85 days and the gonadotropin response to exogenously administered estradiol benzoate (EB) (10 micrograms/100 g BW) and progesterone (P) (2 mg/animal) was determined. When testing began 3 days following ovariectomy, control females exhibited significant (P less than 0.01) afternoon elevations of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) following EB, which were further amplified following P. When ovariectomy occurred prior to the onset of PVE (PRE PVE), lightly androgenized females (10 micrograms TP) showed no significant afternoon gonadotropin increase following EB. Following P, phasic LH secretion was present but significantly (P less than 0.01) decreased in amplitude and delayed in onset versus that of control females. When ovariectomy occurred 3 to 4 wk following the onset of PVE, lightly androgenized females (PVE group) as well as fully androgenized females (FAS) (100 micrograms TP) showed no gonadotropin response to steroid priming.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Eight-week-old virgin untreated female mice were induced to ovulate using equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and were then caged with males overnight. Females with a vaginal plug on the following morning were killed 24 hours later and 2-cell embryos were flushed from the oviduct. These embryos were transferred to the oviduct of 8-week-old control females, to females of the same age treated with 5 micrograms diethylstilbestrol (DES) sc in olive oil for the first 5 days after birth, or to females treated with 1 microgram estradiol-17 beta for 2 days before and 2 days after transfer (estrogen dominated/ED/females). Two days after transfer, a significantly lower number of embryos were recovered from oviducts of DES females compared to control females and a still lower number from ED females. The recovered embryos were cultured in vitro for 4 days testing trophoblast outgrowth ("implantation stage"). The incidence of embryos reaching this stage after development in DES-exposed oviducts was only half of that for embryos passing control oviducts or ED oviducts. It is concluded that the adult oviductal environment in neonatally DES-treated females significantly decreases early embryo developmental potential. The oviductal factor(s) harmful to the embryo may be related to a persistent and possibly increased level of circulating estrogen level in DES females. 相似文献

This experiment concerned the changing patterns in secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and growth hormone (GH) under conditions of food restriction and subsequent catch-up growth. Weanling male rats were given either restricted (4 g food/day) or unrestricted access to food until 60 days of age. At this age, food-restricted rats weighed only 25% as much as rats fed ad libitum. Food restriction resulted in a dramatic decrease in the frequency of LH and GH pulses, and in the amplitude of GH pulses. It also slightly but significantly decreased mean blood levels of FSH (which was not secreted in a pulsatile manner in 60-day-old controls fed ad libitum). When restricted rats were given unrestricted access to food, frequency of LH and GH pulses and mean levels of FSH increased significantly and simultaneously within 2 days in half of the animals. Only an additional 8-10% of their body weight decrement was recovered at this time. After 10 days of food restoration, when restricted rats still weighed 50% less than controls, their secretory patterns of all three hormones were not significantly different from those of controls. Thus, recovery of gonadotropin and GH secretion was relatively rapid. Except for the quantitatively lesser impact of food restriction on FSH secretion, there was no evidence of any priorities in the secretion of the three hormones. Under conditions of rapid catch-up growth, the secretory patterns of LH, FSH, and GH appeared to develop simultaneously. 相似文献
