Painful stimuli led to a decrease of the radioactive catecholamine pool in adrenalectomized rats. Intraventricular administration of both tritiated noradrenaline and ACTH produced a greater decrease of the labelled catecholamine pool than in the control adrenalectomized rats in 12 to 18 hr following injection. Blocking of monoamino-oxidase activity or biosynthesis by systemic administration of Pargyline or alpha-methyl-tyrosine did not prevent the effect of ACTH on brain catecholamines. It is concluded that ACTH exerts a direct influence on the brain catecholaminergic system and that this effect might be involved in ACTH dependent behavioural responses. 相似文献

The examination carried out with thrombin marked by 131J resulted in a considerable increase of the thrombin clearance rate in healty male rats during the stress (caused by an immobilization lasting 30 minutes) and in an increase of thrombin deposits in the liver. A further increase of thrombin clearance occurred by the combination of immobilization and administration of ACTH. Contrary to ACTH the thrombin clearance is not stimulated in healthy animals by hydrocortisone. Thrombin clearance and thrombin deposits in the liver are lowered in adrenalectomized rats. In these animals the administration of ACTH does not result in an increase of thrombin clearance. The rate of thrombin clearance is normalized in adrenalectomized animals after administering hydrocortisone without as well as under conditions of stress. In adrenalectomized animals having received hydrocortisone as well as in healthy animals the administration of ACTH will results in an increase of thrombin clearance. From these experiments the conclusion can be drawn that ACTH will increase the intensity of thrombin clearance in stress and that hydrocortisone plays a transmitting part here. 相似文献

It has been shown that single or multiple hydrocortisone and ACTH administrations to intact rats increased GABA content and its synthesis from glutamate and putrescine in synaptosomes of hypothalamus. The letter content was increased by single hormonal administration while multiple hormonal administration and adrenalectomy decreased it. Ornithine decarboxylase activity was increased by single hydrocortisone administration to intact animals, following adrenalectomy, and it was decreased by single hormonal administration to adrenalectomized rats. GABA synthesis in synaptosomes of hippocampus from putrescine was increased by single hydrocortisone and multiple hormonal administrations. GABA content was increased by multiple administration of both hormones and was decreased by adrenalectomy. Putrescine level was decreased by multiple hydrocortisone administration to intact and single administration to adrenalectomized rats; ornithine decarboxylase activity was decreased by multiple administration of both hormones. 相似文献

It has been shown that single hydrocortisone administration increased 3H-GABA binding by hypothalamic synaptic membranes. ACTH administration enhanced binding in both studied brain structures. Multiple hydrocortisone administration did not effect 3H-GABA binding by hypothalamic and hippocampal membranes, while multiple ACTH administration caused the decrease in mediator binding by hypothalamic membranes and increased its level in hippocampal membranes. Adrenalectomy did not change 3H-gaba binding and single hydrocortisone administration to adrenalectomized rats increased 3H-GABA binding only by hypothalamic synaptic membranes. 相似文献

The effects of intravenous administration of PGE1 on the glycogen synthase and phosphorylase system in rat heart were studied.Unlike the consistent effects of PGE1 on glycogen synthase in liver, the response in heart was variable. A significant decrease in the per cent synthase
occurred in fasted intact rats while a significant increase was seen in adrenalectomized hydrocortisone treated fasted rats. No significant effect was seen on the synthase system in either fed intact or fasted adrenalectomized rats.Phosphorylase
activity was increased significantly following PGE1 administration in fed intact rats and slightly increased in adrenalectomized fasted rats. The phosphorylase system was not affected in fasted intact and fasted adrenalectomized rats given glucocorticoid replacement. With our present state of knowledge an adequate explanation for the response of these heart enzymes to PGE1 under the various conditions of this study does not appear possible. 相似文献

A single administration of hydrocortisone to intact rabbits increases the incorporation of [14C] alanine into proteins of the brain and liver tissue homogenates and soluble fractions as well as in blood plasma proteins and reduces the label incorporation into the brain tissue proteins and reduces its incorporation into the blood plasma proteins. Adrenalcetomy is followed by an increase in the incorporation of [14C] alanine into proteins of the brain and muscle tissue homogenates and soluble fraction and into proteins of blood plasma and liver tissue homogenates as well as by reducing the label incorporation into the spleen soluble fraction proteins. ACTH administered to adrenalectomized rabbits reduces incorporation of [14C] alanine into the brain and muscle tissue proteins, total proteins of liver tissue homogenate and increases it into the proteins of the spleen tissue soluble fraction. Multiple administration of the soluble fraction hormones both to intact and adrenalectomized rabbits inhibits the label incorporation into the studied tissue proteins. Parallel with the change in [14C] alanine incorporation into proteins under the hormones effect certain shifts in their contents were also established. 相似文献

This study is aimed at elucidating the mechanism of paradoxical rise in plasma ACTH levels in response to glucocorticoids, observed by several authors in bilaterally adrenalectomized patients with Cushing's disease. Six control subjects and fourteen patients bilaterally adrenalectomized for Cushing's disease were given a dose of 200 mg hydrocortisone sodium succinate by 3-5 mm i.v. injection. Plasma ACTH (in 6 patients), serum cortisol, growth hormone (GH) and insulin and blood glucose levels were estimated at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. The administration of hydrocortisone significantly suppressed plasma ACTH levels only at 60 min. In one case a slight rise in ACTH level during the test was observed. A significant fall in blood glucose levels was found only in the adrenalectomized patients. No significant changes in serum insulin and GH levels were noted. The possible mechanisms are discussed, especially the potential role of transient glucose deficiency in the pathophysiology of plasma ACTH increase in response to hydrocortisone in the bilaterally adrenalectomized patients. 相似文献

Aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (AsT, AlT) activities were studied in tissues of adrenalectomized rabbits which were treated with a single and multiple administrations of hydrocortisone (5 mg/kg) or a single administration of corticotropine (ACTH, 10 units/kg). It is shown that adrenalectomy decreases the AsT activity in homogenate of femoral muscle tissue and decreases the AlT activity in homogenate and supernatant of the liver, spleen and muscle tissue and in blood plasma. A single administration of hydrocortisone increases the AsT activity in supernatant of femoral muscle tissue and in blood plasma and increases AIT activity in the brain, liver, muscle and blood plasma. Parallel with that AsT and AlT activities are decreased in the spleen tissue. Multiple administration of hydrocortisone induces analogous changes in the AsT activity in the muscle and in the AlT activity in the liver, muscle and blood plasma. A single administration of ACTH induces an increase of the AsT activity in the muscle supernatant and in blood plasma. It also causes a rise of the AlT activity in the liver, muscle supernatant and blood plasma. The AlT activity is decreased in the brain supernatant. A question about stability of free amino acids metabolism (especially of alanine and aspartic acid) in the rabbit brain with changes in corticosteroid levels of organism is under discussion. 相似文献

The intraperitoneal administration of corticotropin (ACTH) in the rate of 1 and 2 units per 100 g of body weight and that of hydrocortisone in the rate of 1 mg and 5 mg per 100 g body weight were studied for their effects on carbohydrate metabolism rate in musculus gastrocnemius as well as on the level of 11-oxycorticosteroids in blood plasma of rats. The glycogen level in muscles was found to rise 3 hours after ACTH and hydrocortisone administration and it correlated with the hydrocortisone level increase in blood plasma (r = 0.714 and 0.863, respectively); the activity of pyruvate kinase decreased. Simultaneously ACTH did not change while hydrocortisone lowered the phosphorylase activity and the content of both fructose-6-phosphate and lactate. 相似文献

The intraventricular administration of nerve growth factor causes a marked increase in the activity of ornithine decarboxylase in rat brain. This increase is much smaller in adrenalectomized rats. Dexamethasone and corticosterone, administered either systemically or intraventricularly, are able to restore the ability of nerve growth factor to induce ornithine decarboxylase. The steroids must be given at least three hours before the nerve growth factor to be fully effective. 相似文献

Corticosterone was administered to normal and bilaterally adrenalectomized rats (250-300 g), and hormonal regulation of brain calbindin-D28k (CaBP28k) levels was investigated by radioimmunoassay for CaBP28k protein and by slot and Northern blot analyses for CaBP28k mRNA. The specificity of the changes observed in CaBP28k mRNA levels was tested by reprobing blots with calmodulin and B-actin cDNAs. Rats were either adrenalectomized, adrenalectomized treated with corticosterone, intact, or intact treated with corticosterone. Chronic corticosterone administration (subcutaneous injection for 7 days, 10 mg/day) to normal intact rats significantly increased levels of CaBP28k immunoreactivity (43%) and mRNA (125%) in the hippocampus. Adrenalectomy (animals were killed 7 days after adrenalectomy) produced a significant decrease in hippocampal CaBP28k immunoreactivity (85%) and mRNA (80%) compared with intact controls. Immunocytochemical analysis of tissue sections inducated a marked depletion of CaBP28k immunoreactivity in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus 2 weeks after adrenalectomy. When adrenalectomized rats were treated with corticosterone (10 mg/day for 7 days), CaBP28k protein and mRNA levels in hippocampus were restored to levels observed in intact controls. No changes in CaBP28k protein and mRNA in kidney, cerebellum, striatum, or cerebral cortex were noted in adrenalectomized rats or in intact rats treated with corticosterone when compared with controls, indicating the specificity of the effect on CaBP28k for the hippocampus. These studies present the first evidence of a regulator of CaBP28k gene expression in the brain. 相似文献

While studying the effect of peroral captopril injections on the activity of renin-angiotensin system (RAS), the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin II content from anterior and mediobasal hypothalamus, medulla and adenohypophysis of intact rats has been established to decrease. Captopril administration decreases ACE activity which increases after hydrocortisone injection in rat medulla and striatum. Captopril results in no potentiation of hormonal effect in hypothalamus and in adenohypophysis where ACE activity decreases following hydrocortisone injection. A decrease in the RAS activity of brain structures and adenohypophysis induced by captopril administration to rats is accompanied by the inhibition of the activity in the pituitary-adrenal system. A decrease in ACTH level and in 11-hydroxycorticosteroids of the rat blood plasma has been determined after single captopril injection in the dosage of 10 and 50 mg/kg of body weight. Duration of the effect depends on the captopril dosage. 相似文献

In order to elucidate the physiological role of the 41 amino-acid residue corticotropin-releasing factor (41-CRF) on the secretion of ACTH, B-Endorphin and alpha-MSH, plasma levels of these peptides were measured by radioimmunoassay in intact and adrenalectomized rats, two hours after the injection of either 41-CRF antiserum (CRF-AS) or normal rabbit serum for controls. The administration of CRF-AS strikingly lowered the plasma ACTH levels in both intact and adrenalectomized rats. A statistically significant reduction of plasma levels of B-Endorphin was also observed in the same rats. However, the effect of CRF-AS on B-Endorphin release was less pronounced than the effect on ACTH release. No changes in plasma alpha-MSH levels were observed after passive immunization with CRF-AS. We conclude that, in the rat, 41-CRF plays a physiological role in the regulation of ACTH and B-Endorphin secretion, but is not involved in the regulation of alpha-MSH release from the pituitary gland. 相似文献

Production of adrenal steroids in intact and castrated dogs is stimulated acutely by ACTH. While the increase in plasma cortisol, 17-hydroxypregnenolone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone is not affected by castration, the increment of dehydroepiandrosterone is totally abolished. On the other hand, administration of 17-hydroxypregnenolone in adrenalectomized dogs caused an increase in plasma C-19 steroids such as dehydroepiandrosterone, androstenedione and testosterone indicating that this C-21 progestin in plasma is rapidly converted. The site of this conversion is likely the testis. Furthermore, acute hCG administration in adrenalectomized dogs resulted in a marked increase in the levels of plasma 17-hydroxypregnenolone and dehydroepiandrosterone. However, our data show an ACTH-induced rise in 5-androstene-3 beta. 17 beta-diol in intact and castrated dogs, thus suggesting that this steroid is a good parameter to assess in the stimulation of adrenal steroidogenesis by ACTH. 相似文献

Abstract— The levels of tritiated catecholamines and metabolites were measured in regions of the rat brain at intervals after the intraventricular injection of [3 H]dopamine, [3 H]nor-adrenaline and [3 H]normetanephrine. The disappearance of catecholamines and appearance of metabolites with time and the regional turnover rates of these amines indicate that the major pathway of the metabolism of noradrenaline and dopamine actively released from physiological storage sites is to the neutral alcoholic metabolites. The acid metabolites, homovanillic acid and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid appear to be only minor products of normal dopamine metabolism in rat brain regions including the striate, but are the main end products of the metabolism of excess exogenous dopamine.
The active metabolism of stored noradrenaline to alcohol metabolites is also indicated by the increase in neutral alcohol metabolites accompanying the increased noradrenaline turnover when rats were subjected to electroshock stress. Therefore in the rat brain, neutral alcohol metabolites of dopamine and noradrenaline have great significance in the study of physiological catecholamine turnover in any region. 相似文献

The influences of hydrocortisone and thyroxine on the developmental changes of arginase activity in intestine, kidney, and brain of suckling rats were studied. A single injection of hydrocortisone (50 mg/kg) into rats aged 9 days evoked premature increase of jejunal arginase activity due to precocious formation of arginase A4. Arginase A4 can be detected about 48 hr after hydrocortisone injection, whereas in intact rats the enzyme appears in the intestinal mucosa on the 19th-21st days of postnatal life. After hydrocortisone administration to rats aged 6 days, a similar pattern of arginase activity in jejunum was observed. Under the same conditions, the influence of hydrocortisone on kidney arginase was weaker. The hormone did not have any influence on the activity of brain arginase. Daily injection of thyroxine (2 mg/kg) to 6-day-old rats (for 6 consecutive days) caused a precocious increase of the arginase activity in intestine. Under the same conditions, only a slight increase of the arginase activity was observed in kidney, whereas in brain the activity was unaffected. 相似文献

The plasma insulin and blood glucose responses to synthetic 1-24 ACTH were studied in 21 patients bilaterally adrenalectomized for pituitary-dependent Cushing's syndrome and in 8 healthy adults. In the adrenalectomized patients, intravenous 1-24 ACTH administration was followed by an increase in plasma insulin concentrations after 15 and 30 min and a fall in blood glucose after 30 min. In healthy subjects no significant changes in plasma insulin and blood glucose levels were found. The presence of intact adrenals seems to be the cause of the different responses of insulin to 1-24 ACTH injection in these two groups. 相似文献

The effects of adrenalectomy on growth, some enzyme activities in the liver and kidney, and urinary excretion of urea, creatinine and creatine were investigated in rats fed the 10% casein diets containing 7% glycine with or without l-arginine and l-methionine (10C, 10C7G and 10C7ArgMet).Body weight gains of the intact 10C and 10C7GArgMet groups were almost same as the corresponding adrenalectomized groups. The body weight of the adrenalectomized 10C7G group was extremely decreased though that of the intact 10C7G group was maintained almost constant; but the decrease was recovered by the administration of hydrocortisone. The activities of liver arginase and carbamylphosphate synthetase were not affected by those diets. Liver serine dehydratase and ornithine δ-aminotransferase activities were increased in the intact 10C7G and 10C7GArgMet groups, but these increases were depressed by adrenalectomy. Glutamate-pyruvate transminase activities in the liver of intact 10C7G and 10C7GArgMet groups were also enhanced, but were extremely decreased in the corresponding adrenalectomized groups. Kidney transamidinase activity was not affected by adrenalectomy. The amount of urinary excreted urea was almost unchanged by adrenalectomy, but was increased by hydrocortisone administration. The amounts of excreted creatine of the adrenalectomized groups were generally larger than the corresponding intact groups, but slightly decreased by the administration of hydrocortisone. The amount of excreted creatinine was not generally affected by adrenalectomy. 相似文献

Summary The incorporation of 35S-labelled cysteine in the hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal system was studied in normal and adrenalectomized rats and in rats treated with excess hydrocortisone. Labelled cysteine was intraperitoneally administered and grain counts were made of autoradiographs produced from sections of the supraoptic and paraventricular nucleus, median eminence and neurohypophysis of animals killed 45 min., 4 hours and 24 hours after administration of the labelled substance. On the whole, lower incorporation levels of the label were noted in the adrenalectomized rats, compared with the controls. In the rats treated with excess hydrocortisone, the grain counts at 45 min and 4 hours after injection were higher and those at 24 hours were lower than those of the controls.The findings are discussed, among other things, in terms of rate of uptake vs. time and related to previous reports on the cysteine uptake and neurosecretory activity of the hypothalamic-neurosecretory sytem.This study was financially supported by the Sigrid Jusélius Foundation, Helsinki, Finland and the National Research Council for Medical Sciences, Finland. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated an increase in adult brain DNA content in rats adrenalectomized on postnatal day 11. The present studies examined cell proliferation in cerebral cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus, and midbrain-diencephalon following adrenalectomy at this age. Compared to sham-operated controls, adrenalectomized animals showed increased [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA (measured at 1 h following a pulse injection) in all brain regions at 7 and 14 days postsurgery. In some areas, the effect was already present as early as 2 days following adrenalectomy. Chronic replacement with corticosterone prevented this increase in DNA labelling in a dose-dependent manner. When cell proliferation in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum was independently assessed by measuring changes in thymidine kinase activity, enzyme activity was significantly elevated in both areas at 7 and 14 days postsurgery. Finally, histological examination of the cerebellar cortex suggested a delayed disappearance of the external granular layer in several cerebellar lobules of adrenalectomized animals. Overall, these findings indicate that day-11 adrenalectomy leads to a prolonged stimulation of mitotic activity in areas where cell formation at this time is exclusively glial (i.e., cerebral cortex and mid-brain-diencephalon) as well as in areas where postnatal neurogenesis is also occurring (cerebellum and hippocampus). It is hypothesized that this stimulation results from the removal of a tonic inhibitory effect exerted by circulating glucocorticoids in the normal intact animal. 相似文献
