1. The effect of 10 days treatment with growth hormone (GH) (l mg/kg body wt/day) and somatostatin (SRIF) (0.25 mg/kg body wt/day) subcutaneously on the activity of β-adrenoceptors in rat hypothalamic, pituitary and cerebral cortical membrane fractions was studied using [3H]dihydroalprenolol ([3H]DHA) as radioligand.2. The administration of GH significantly increased the β-adrenoceptor binding affinity and the administration of SRIF decreased the β-adrenoceptor binding capacity in the hypothalamus.3. In the pituitary the β-adrenoceptor binding affinity was significantly decreased after both hormonal applications.4. In the cerebral cortex the β-adrenoceptor binding affinity was significantly decreased after the GH treatment and increased after the SRIF treatment.5. The present study provides direct evidence for GH and SRIF effects on the activity of rat β-adrenoceptors and supports the view about the involvement of β-adrenergic mechanisms in the neurotransmitter regulation of GH secretion in the rat. 相似文献

1. The effect of 10-day treatment with growth hormone (GH) (1 mg/kg body weight day) and somatostatin (SRIF) (0.25 mg/kg body weight day) subcutaneously on the activity of muscarinic (M) receptors in rat hypothalamic, pituitary and cerebral cortical membrane fractions was studied using (3H)quinuclidinyl benzylate [(3H)QNB] as radioligand. 2. The administration of GH and SRIF significantly decreased the M-receptor binding affinity in the hypothalamus. 3. In the pituitary the M-receptor affinity was increased after both GH and SRIF treatment. 4. In the hypothalamus and the pituitary the binding capacity of muscarinic receptors was unchanged. 5. In the cerebral cortex the chronical GH injection induced an increase in the number of antagonist binding sites and a decrease of their affinity, while the similar SRIF treatment led to an increase of the binding affinity without any change of M-receptor capacity. 6. These results indicate that GH and SRIF selectively and region-specifically modulate muscarinic receptor binding affinity and capacity and provide new insight into the feedback regulatory mechanisms of GH secretion. 相似文献

Secretion of growth hormone (GH) is synchronized among castrate male cattle (steers) around feeding when access to feed is restricted to a 2-hr period each day. Typically, concentrations of GH increase before and decrease after feeding. Our objectives were to determine whether i) concentrations of GH decrease in blood after start of feeding; ii) activity of immunoreactive growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH-ir) neurons decreases in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) after feeding; iii) activity of immunoreactive somatostatin (SS-ir) neurons in the periventricular nucleus (PeVN) and ARC increase after feeding; and iv) GHRH stimulates release of GH to a similar magnitude at 0900 and at 1300 hr, in steers fed between 1000 and 1200 hr. Blood samples were collected at 20-min intervals from 0700 to 1300 hr. Groups of steers were euthanized at 0700, 0900, 1100, and 1300 hr (n = 5 per group). Dual-label immunohistochemistry was performed on free-floating sections of hypothalami using antibodies directed against Fos and Fos-related antigens (Fos/FRA) as a marker of neuronal activity in immunoreactive GHRH and SS neurons. Concentrations of GH were high before and decreased after feeding. The percentage of SS-ir neurons containing Fos/FRA-ir in the PeVN was 50% lower (P<0.01) at 1100 hr and 36% lower (P<0.05) at 1300 hr than at 0900 hr. There was no change in percentage of SS-ir neurons containing Fos/FRA-ir in the ARC. The percentage of GHRH-ir neurons containing Fos/FRA-ir in the ARC was 66% lower (P<0.05) at 1100 hr and 65% lower (P<0.05) at 1300 hr than at 0700 hr. In contrast, the number of GHRH-ir neurons increased from 0700 to 1300 hr. GHRH-induced release of GH was suppressed at 1300 hr compared with 0900 hr. In conclusion, reduced basal and GHRH-induced secretion of GH after feeding was associated with decreased activity of GHRH neurons in the ARC and decreased activity of SS neurons in the PeVN. 相似文献

Pulsatile GH secretion decreases during food-deprivation in the rat. It has been hypothesized that this decrease is due to elevated hypothalamic somatostatin secretion. This is based on the observation that GH increases in food-deprived rats following removal of endogenous somatostatin using passive immunization techniques. Cognizant of the important stimulatory effects of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) on GH secretion, we sought to determine if this neuropeptide plays any role in mediating GH secretion in food-deprived rats. Male rats were prepared with indwelling venous catheters using sodium pentobarbital anesthesia seven days prior to experimentation. Animals were food-deprived for 72 h, after which control blood samples were drawn from -60 to 0 min. One group was then treated with normal rabbit serum (NRS), while a second group was treated with GHRH antiserum (GHRHab). At 55 min all animals received somatostatin antiserum (SSab). No animal exhibited any spontaneous GH peak during the one hour control period or in the subsequent one hour period following the administration of GHRHab or NRS. Absence of GH pulsatility during food-deprivation, coupled with no decrease in GH levels in food-deprived rats treated with GHRHab suggest that diminished GHRH pulsatility is likely during food-deprivation. Subsequent treatment of these animals with SSab resulted in an identical 2.5 fold increase in GH concentrations. This result suggests that GHRH is not involved in the GH rebound following somatostatin withdrawal in food-deprived rats. 相似文献

Summary The objective of the present study was to determine, by means of immunocytochemistry, the age in fetal development at which GH is first detectable in the pituitary gland and somatostatin in the median eminence, and to correlate temporally the development of these two hormones throughout the remainder of pregnancy. Mice were studied at 15–19 days of gestation with the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique of Sternberger. Somatotropes in the pars distalis were initially detected at 16 days of gestation and by 17 days they were a prominent component of the parenchymal cell population of the hypophysis. These cells were ovoid and distributed uniformly throughout the pars distalis; many were located adjacent to sinusoidal capillaries. Their number and staining intensity increased by 19 days. Somatostatin was not consistently observed in the median eminence until 19 days of gestation. Reaction product indicative of the presence of somatostatin in presumptive nerve endings was located on the ventral surface of the median eminence and in the external lamina of the infundibulum in proximity to the superficial portal capillaries. Results of the present investigation support the concept that the potential for neuroendocrine control of GH secretion exists in the mouse by the end of fetal development. Several hypotheses concerning the temporal relationship between the appearance of somatostatin in the hypothalamus and of GH in the anterior pituitary gland are discussed.Supported by a Biomedical Research Support Grant (NIH RR 5417).

Growth hormone stimulates the synthesis of RNA in hypophysectomized rat liver. The question whether the hormonal stimulation of RNA synthesis is due to the activation of repressed cistrons or to other factors was studied. Nuclear RNA from the livers of adult female hypophysectomized and growth-hormone-treated rats was examined for molecular homology by hybridization techniques: no new species of RNA were detected after hormone treatment. The template activity of the chromatin for RNA synthesis is also not increased by the action of growth hormone. Short- and long-pulse-labelling experiments demonstrate that the hormonal stimulation of RNA synthesis is most marked in experiments where the period of incorporation of radioactive precursors is limited to 1-2hr. It is concluded that the hormone influences essentially the rate of RNA synthesis in these tissues. 相似文献

A nonreducible cyclic analog of somatostatin (SRIF) was prepared by a combination of solid phase and solution peptide synthesis. The compound, gamma-Abu-Lys-Asn-Phe-Phe-Trp-Lys-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-OH, was tested for its effect on the release of growth hormone, glucagon and insulin in rats. It significantly suppressed pentobarbital-stimulated growth hormone release but showed no effect on arginine-stimulated glucagon or insulin release. The linear form, NH2-gamma-Abu-Lys-Asn-Phe-Phe-Trp-Lys-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-OH, was also prepared and tested in vivo. It was shown to have only slight activity. 相似文献

Hypothalamic somatostatin concentration is increased in normal rats treated with growth hormone. Somatostatin is reduced in the median eminence of hypophysectomized rats but restored to normal following growth hormone administration. These results suggest that growth hormone exerts a positive feedback effect on hypothalamic somatostatin mechanism by which it may regulate its own secretion. 相似文献

As growth hormone has been implicated in the "dawn phenomenon," an early morning rise in serum glucose, we have studied the control of growth hormone release in diabetes using an acutely dispersed system of adenohypophysial cells from normal or diabetic rats (65 mg/kg streptozotocin, 8 days before sacrifice; serum glucose, 490 +/- 17 mg/dL). Growth hormone release is normally controlled by the two hypothalamic hormones, growth hormone releasing factor and somatostatin. We have found cells of the diabetic rats exhibit changes in sensitivity that result in increased growth hormone release in static incubation. In normal cells, rat growth hormone releasing factor increases growth hormone release three- to four-fold with an EC50 of 151 +/- 27 pM (n = 7). In contrast, in cells from diabetic rats, there was a significant (twofold) increase in sensitivity to growth hormone releasing factor (EC50 = 75 +/- 15 pM, n = 7) which resulted in increased growth hormone release with lower but not maximal (10 nM) growth hormone releasing factor. Basal nonstimulated release was unchanged. Somatostatin inhibition of stimulated growth hormone release was reduced (n = 7); half-maximal inhibition occurred with 0.21 +/- 0.03 nM (normal) and 0.76 +/- 0.17 nM somatostatin (diabetic). In perifusion the peak secretion rate was significantly lower for diabetic cells stimulated by a maximal dose of growth hormone releasing factor. These studies suggest somatotrophs of diabetic rats have altered sensitivity in vitro to the controlling hormones growth hormone releasing factor and somatostatin. 相似文献

Utilizing an immunoperoxidase technique at the light microscope level, growth hormone-release-inhibiting hormone (somatostatin) was localized in the external zone of the median eminence, the subcommissural organ, the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis and the pineal gland. No positive reaction was detected in any other brain area. 相似文献

Adult growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a multifactorial disorder in which pituitary dysfunction associated with pituitary adenomas or their treatment plays a major role. The introduction of recombinant growth hormone (GH) for the treatment of GHD has opened up new treatment avenues but has also raised concerns about possible untoward long-term metabolic effects of GH, such as the potential effect of GH on insulin sensitivity and a deterioration in glucose tolerance. Research has shown that GH induces insulin resistance by the stimulation of lipolysis and a concomitant switch from oxidation of glucose to oxidation of lipids, during both acute and chronic treatment. However, although this is a consistent effect of GH therapy, it does not mean per se that it leads to abnormal glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus. This article discusses this and other potential long-term metabolic effects of GH, and raises a number of questions to be addressed by future research. 相似文献
