Transfer of male golden (Syrian) hamsters from a 14L:10D (light:dark) to a 5L:19D photoperiod induced significant changes in pituitary function tested in vitro. Within 27 days after transfer to a 5L:19D photoperiod, basal prolactin (Prl) release was significantly depressed and response to dopamine (DA) was significantly enhanced as compared to Prl release by pituitaries from 14L: 10D hamsters. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) release tended to be depressed after 9 or 27 days of 5L:19D exposure, but the effect was not significant. After 77 days of 5L:19D exposure, Prl release was further suppressed, while FSH release surpassed that seen in 14L:10D pituitaries. In vitro FSH response to luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) was also enhanced at this time. After 15 weeks of exposure to a short photoperiod, FSH secretion was still elevated above control levels, but Prl release and Prl response to DA were no longer different from that of 14L: 10D controls. Secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) in vitro, either basal or LHRH stimulated, was not affected by photoperiod at any time tested. From these results, we conclude that short photoperiod exposure does not reduce the pituitary's ability to secrete LH or FSH, although secretion of Prl is severely attenuated.  相似文献

Recent reports indicate that luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) releases prolactin (PRL) under some circumstances. We examined the chronic effects of LHRH, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), and corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) on the release of PRL, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by pituitary allografts in hypophysectomized, orchidectomized hamsters. Entire pituitary glands removed from 7-week-old-male Golden Syrian hamsters were placed under the renal capsule of hypophysectomized, orchidectomized 12-week-old hamsters. Beginning 6 days postgrafting, hamsters were injected subcutaneously twice daily with 1 microgram LHRH, 4 micrograms GHRH, or 4 micrograms CRH in 100 microliter of vehicle for 16 days. Six hosts from each of the four groups were decapitated on Day 17, 16 hr after the last injection. Prolactin, LH, and FSH were measured in serum collected from the trunk blood. Treatment with LHRH significantly elevated serum PRL levels above those measured in the other three groups, which were all similar to one another. Serum LH levels in hosts treated with vehicle were elevated above those measured in the other three groups. Serum FSH levels in hosts treated with LHRH were greater than FSH levels in any of the other three groups. These results indicate that chronic treatment with LHRH can stimulate PRL and FSH release by ectopic pituitary cells in the hamster.  相似文献

The changes in serum gonadotrophins in male hamsters following one injection of 15 μg luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) (Group A) were compared with those following the last injection of LHRH in animals receiving an injection approximately every 12 hr for 4 days (Group B) or 12 days (Group C). Peak follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels (ng/ml) were 1776±218 (Group A), 2904±346 (Group B), and 4336±449 (Group C). Peak luteinizing hormone (LH) values (ng/ml) were 1352±80 (Group A), 410±12 (Group B), and 498±53 (Group C). Serum FSH:LH ratios, calculated from the concentrations measured 16 hr after the last LHRH injections, were higher in Groups B and C than in Group A. Similar injections of LHRH (100 ng or 15 μg/injection) for 6 days elevated the serum FSH:LH ratio in intact males. Five such LHRH injections (100 ng/injection) blunted the rise in serum LH in orchidectomized hamsters. Direct effects of LHRH on gonadotrophin secretory dynamics or altered brain-pituitary-testicular interactions may alter the ratio of FSH to LH in the hamster.  相似文献

The adult male golden hamster will undergo testicular regression when exposed to a short photoperiod, blinding, or late afternoon injections of melatonin. The present study was conducted to compare the effects of all three treatments on serum gonadotropin levels and testicular weights, and to evaluate the effects of these treatments on hypothalamic content of both immunoreactive and bioactive luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) levels. Hamsters were blinded (BL), exposed to a short photoperiod (SP), or received daily injections of melatonin (MEL) for 15 wk. Each treatment (BL, SP, MEL) induced a temporally similar decline in serum luteinizing hormone (LH), serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and testicular weight. Spontaneous recrudescence occurred earliest in the MEL group, with serum gonadotropins and testicular weight returning to normal by 15 wk. The SP group exhibited recovery of serum gonadotropins but not testicular weight by 15 wk. The BL group demonstrated partial recovery of serum FSH levels by 15 wk, with no recovery in either serum LH or testicular weight. Each treatment group demonstrated increased hypothalamic content of immunoreactive LHRH which was temporally correlated with the decreases of serum gonadotropins. Additionally, the MEL and SP groups demonstrated decreased immunoreactive LHRH levels during spontaneous recrudescence. Extracts of hypothalami from all treatment groups were bioactive on control hamster pituitary cells. These results indicate that there are temporal differences among the three common treatments and that these differences are manifested in serum gonadotropins, testicular weight and hypothalamic LHRH. Hypothalamic LHRH levels determined by radioimmunoassay and bioassay show periods of increase and decrease which coincide with periods of altered serum gonadotropin levels in all groups.  相似文献

Hypothalamic-pituitary function was evaluated in a combination of tests with four hypothalamic releasing hormones (4RHs) and L-dopa in normal subjects and in patients with hypothalamic and/or pituitary disorders. Plasma concentrations of anterior pituitary hormones (GH, ACTH, TSH, PRL, LH and FSH) were measured before and after simultaneous iv administration of GHRH, CRH, TRH and LHRH. In addition, changes in the plasma levels of GHRH and GH were investigated before and after oral administration of L-dopa. Normal subjects showed appreciable responses to both tests. In five patients with hypothalamic disorders, the response of plasma anterior pituitary hormones varied, but plasma GHRH and GH did not respond to L-dopa. Patients with idiopathic and postpartum hypopituitarism showed low response to 4RHs or none at all, but L-dopa evoked a normal GHRH response in 2 of the 4 cases having no GH response. In the patients with hypopituitarism due to resection of a pituitary tumor, the response of anterior pituitary hormones to 4RHs was low, and L-dopa administration induced a normal GHRH and low GH response in 5 out of the 7 cases. After 4RHs administration, the patients with ACTH deficiency syndrome showed different patterns of impaired ACTH secretion, and isolated, combined or limited ACTH reserve. Seven patients with anorexia nervosa showed exaggerated GH, delayed TSH and FSH, low ACTH and LH, that is, normal PRL response to 4RHs, but no response of plasma GHRH or GH to L-dopa, suggesting the presence of hypothalamic dysfunction. These results indicate that the combination of the 4RHs test and L-dopa test is a simple and useful means for evaluating hypothalamic-pituitary function by measuring the response of plasma GHRH and six anterior pituitary hormones in the patients with endocrine disorders.  相似文献

Adult male wild rabbits were exposed to at least 16 weeks of 16L:8 D before experiments began. Plasma LH and FSH concentrations increased significantly (P less than 0.001) when rabbits were castrated in 16L:8D but declined when rabbits were transferred to 8L:16D. Concentrations had returned to normal for castrated rabbits in 16L:8D by 74 days after the start of the 8L:16D treatment. Treatment of intact male rabbits with an injection of LHRH before and after transfer to short daylengths caused a transient increase in plasma LH which lasted 50-80 min and this produced a concomitant rise in plasma testosterone. The daylength change had no effect on this response even though testicular size declined after the transfer to short daylengths. Rabbits moulted in response to exposure to 8L:16D. This suggests that hypothalamic activity responds to photoperiod and that changes in pituitary responsiveness to LHRH and steroid negative feedback are unimportant.  相似文献

Stress induced changes in testis function   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The mechanism through which chronic stress inhibits the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis has been investigated. Chronic restraint stress decreases testosterone secretion, an effect that is associated with a decrease in plasma gonadotropin levels. In chronically stressed rats there was a decrease in hypothalamic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) content and the response on plasma gonadotropins to LHRH administration was enhanced. Thus the inhibitory effect of chronic stress on plasma LH and FSH levels seems not to be due to a reduction in pituitary responsiveness to LHRH, but rather to a modification in LHRH secretion. It has been suggested that beta-endorphin might interfere with hypothalamic LHRH secretion during stress. Chronic immobilization did not modify hypothalamic beta-endorphin, while an increase in pituitary beta-endorphin secretion was observed. Since we cannot exclude that changes in beta-endorphin secreted by the pituitary or other opioids may play some role in the stress-induced decrease in LHRH secretion, the effect of naltrexone administration on plasma gonadotropin was studied in chronically stressed rats. Naltrexone treatment did not modify the decrease in plasma concentrations of LH or FSH. These findings suggest that the inhibitory effect of restraint on the testicular axis is exerted at hypothalamic level by some mechanism other than opioids.  相似文献

Progesterone and certain corticosteroids, such as deoxycorticosterone (DOC) and triamcinolone acetonide (TA), can stimulate gonadotropin surges in rats. The mechanism of these steroids could involve a pituitary or hypothalamic site of action, or both. Progesterone and TA did not alter the ability of GnRH to release LH or FSH either before, during, or after the gonadotropin surge induced by these steroids in estrogen-primed ovariectomized female rats. Furthermore, progesterone, TA and DOC were unable to induce a gonadotropin surge in short-term estrogen-primed castrated male rats. These results suggested a hypothalamic rather than a pituitary site of action of progesterone and corticosteroids in the release of gonadotropins. Since progestin and corticosteroid receptors are present in catecholamine neurons, a role for catecholamine neurotransmission in progesterone and corticosteroid-induced surges of LH and FSH in estrogen-primed ovariectomized rats was examined. Catecholamine synthesis inhibitors and specific alpha 1 (prazosin), alpha 2 (yohimbine), and beta (propranolol) receptor antagonists were used to determine the role of catecholamine neurotransmission in the steroid-induced surges of LH and FSH. Both of the catecholamine synthesis inhibitors, alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine HCl (alpha-MPT), a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, and sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC), an inhibitor of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase, attenuated the ability of progesterone, TA, and DOC to induce LH surges when administered 3 h and 1 h, respectively, before the steroid. DDC also suppressed the ability of progesterone, TA, and DOC to induce FSH surges. Rats treated with alpha-MPT had lower mean FSH values than did steroid controls, but the effect was not significant. Both the alpha 1 and alpha 2 adrenergic antagonists, prazosin and yohimbine, significantly suppressed the ability of progesterone, TA, and DOC to induce LH and FSH surges. In contrast, the beta adrenergic receptor blocker, propranolol, had no effect upon the ability of progesterone, TA, or DOC to facilitate LH and FSH secretion. Finally, the stimulatory effect of progesterone and TA upon LH and FSH release was found to be blocked by prior treatment with a GnRH antagonist, further suggesting hypothalamic involvement. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that the stimulation of gonadotropin release by progesterone and corticosteroids is mediated through a common mechanism, and that this mechanism involves the release of GnRH, most likely through catecholaminergic stimulation. Furthermore, catecholamine neurotransmission, through alpha 1 and alpha 2 but not beta receptor sites, is required for the expression of progesterone and corticosteroid-induced surges of LH and FSH in estrogen-primed ovariectomized rats.  相似文献

FSH levels begin to rise 3-5 days after male Siberian hamsters are transferred from inhibitory short photoperiods to stimulatory long photoperiods. In contrast, LH levels do not increase for several weeks. This differential pattern of FSH and LH secretion represents one of the most profound in vivo examples of differential regulation of the gonadotropins. The present study was undertaken to characterize the molecular mechanisms controlling differential FSH and LH synthesis and secretion in photostimulated Siberian hamsters. First, we cloned species-specific cDNAs for the three gonadotropin subunits: the common alpha subunit and the unique FSHbeta and LHbeta subunits. All three subunits share high nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequence identity with the orthologous cDNAs from rats. We then used these new molecular probes to examine the gonadotropin subunit mRNA levels from pituitaries of short-day male hamsters transferred to long days for 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, or 20 days. Short-day (SD) and long-day (LD) controls remained in short and long days, respectively, from the time of weaning. We measured serum FSH and LH levels by RIA. FSHbeta, LHbeta, and alpha subunit mRNA levels were measured from individual pituitaries using a microlysate ribonuclease protection assay. Serum FSH and pituitary FSHbeta mRNA levels changed similarly following long-day transfer. Both were significantly elevated after five long days (2.3- and 3.6-fold, respectively; P < 0.02) and declined thereafter, but they remained above SD control values through 20 long days. Alpha subunit mRNA levels also increased significantly relative to SD control values (maximum 2-fold increase after seven long days; P < 0.03), although to a lesser extent than FSHbeta. Neither serum LH nor pituitary LHbeta mRNA levels changed significantly following long-day transfer. The results indicate that long-day-associated increases in serum FSH levels in Siberian hamsters reflect an underlying increase in pituitary FSHbeta and alpha subunit mRNA accumulation.  相似文献

To determine if LHRH might act within the brain to modify its own release, repeated blood samples were removed from conscious ovariectomized rats and minute doses of LHRH were injected into the third ventricle (3V). The effect of these injections on plasma LH and FSH was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA). The higher dose of intraventricular LHRH (10 ng in 2 microliter) induced an increase in plasma LH within 10 min after its injection. Plasma LH decreased for the next 60 min. This was followed by restoration of LH pulses characteristic of the ovariectomized rat. This dose of LHRH slightly elevated plasma FSH concentrations. In stark contrast, a 10 fold lower dose of 1 ng of LHRH injected into the ventricle resulted in a highly significant decrease of plasma LH at 10 min following injection, followed by return of LH pulsations. There was no effect on the pulsatile release of FSH. The results are interpreted to mean that at the higher dose, sufficient LHRH reached the site of origin of the hypophyseal portal vessels in the median eminence so that it diffused into portal vessels and was delivered to the gonadotrophs to induce LH release. In contrast, the lower dose provided sufficient hypothalamic concentrations of the peptide to suppress the discharge of the LHRH neurons, thereby leading to a decline in plasma LH, indicative of an ultrashort-loop negative feedback of LHRH to suppress its own release.  相似文献

The effects of artificial photoperiod, temperature, and long-term testosterone treatment on testicular luteinizing hormone (LH) binding were studied in adult male Djungarian hamsters. In hamsters transferred to long-day (LD; 16 hr light, 8 hr dark) photoperiod 8 weeks after adaptation in short-day (SD; 8 hr light, 16 hr dark) photoperiod of 25 degrees C, testicular growth was associated with an increase in the total LH binding per two testes and a decrease in LH binding per unit testicular weight. Plasma testosterone levels reached a peak 47 days after transfer to LD and tended to decrease thereafter, while the testes continued growing. In contrast, when hamsters reared under LD conditions at 25 degrees C for 12 weeks were transferred to SD, testicular regression was associated with a decrease in plasma testosterone and the total LH binding per two testes and an increase in LH binding per unit testicular weight. A significant decrease in LH binding per unit weight compared to SD controls was observed in those hamsters exposed to SD with continuous testosterone treatment. The testosterone treatment tended to induce decrease in the total LH binding. Scatchard plot analyses of the binding suggested that changes in LH binding were due to changes in the number of binding sites. When sexually mature male hamsters were subjected for 8 weeks to two different ambient temperatures (7 degrees C and 25 degrees C) and photoperiods (LD and SD), the difference between the two temperature groups was statistically not significant regarding the weights of testes, epididymides, and prostates; plasma testosterone levels; and LH binding in either LD or SD group. These results suggest that photoperiod is a more important environmental factor than temperature for the regulation of testicular activity and LH receptors and that testosterone reduces the number of LH receptors per unit testicular weight in adult male Djungarian hamsters.  相似文献

Adult male Syrian hamsters of the inbred LSH/Ss Lak strain were maintained under a 14L:10D light cycle until 13 weeks of age. At this point, they were implanted s.c. with elastomer capsules that were either empty or packed with 30-40 mg of 6-methoxybenzoxazolinone (6-MBOA), a compound found naturally in some monocotyledonous plants; half of the animals from each treatment group were then kept in long days (14L:10D) or transferred to short days (9L:15D). Testicular size was measured and blood samples collected from each hamster immediately before capsule implantation and again 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks later. Within just 2 weeks of exposure to short days the mean plasma levels of LH and FSH had significantly declined, in both the control and 6-MBOA-treated animals, and were basal within 4 weeks. Testicular size closely followed these gonadotrophin changes; within 4-6 weeks the testes from all of the short-day hamsters had completely regressed to a prepubertal size. At the end of the experiment, at Week 8, the animals were killed and various components of the hypothalamo-pituitary-testicular axis were compared between the treatment groups. The pituitary content of FSH and LH, testicular weight, mean serum level of testosterone, but not hypothalamic LHRH content or pituitary gland weight, were considerably lower in the short-day than in the long-day hamsters, regardless of whether or not they had been chronically treated with 6-MBOA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Long-term effects of subcutaneous melatonin implants on intrahypothalamic LHRH content and on pulsatile luteinizing hormone release have been investigated in ganglionectomized male mink. Animals were submitted to bilateral removal of the superior cervical ganglion in mid-April. A preliminary study revealed that plasma LH concentrations remain at a basal level throughout the year following ganglionectomy. In a second experiment, one month after ganglionectomy and transfer from the natural photoperiod environment to short daylengths (LD 4:20), melatonin pellets were subcutaneously implanted to overcome deafferentation of the pineal. Progressive effects of treatment were studied 7 days, 15 days, and one, two and three months after insertion of the melatonin implants. The intra-hypothalamic LHRH content in ganglionectomized mink was at a basal level similar to that observed during seasonally sexual quiescence, or after exposure to inhibitory long days (LD 20:4). A significant and transient elevation in LHRH content was observed already after fifteen days, and also one month after insertion of melatonin implants. This resulted in mean values similar to those observed during the breeding season, or after exposure to stimulatory short days (LD 4:20). A decrease in hypothalamic LHRH content started after two months. No pattern of pulsatile LH secretion was recorded in ganglionectomized untreated mink. A significant increase in all parameters of pulsatile LH secretion was observed fifteen days after the elevation of LHRH content induced by melatonin treatment, and maximum values were reached after two months. Pituitary activity tended to decrease after three months, characterized in particular by a significant decrease in the mean frequency of LH pulses. In addition, the increase in pulsatile characteristics of LH release occurred two months before the peripheral renewal of testicular activity. Apparently, the reproductive endocrine function in ganglionectomized mink treated with melatonin implants is restored more rapidly at the hypothalamic level than at the pituitary or testicular levels.  相似文献

The acute effect of α-methyl-p-tyrosine (αMPT), a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, on plasma levels of norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E), dopamine (DA), and adrenal cholesterol content in male rats at room temperature (24°C) and during acute cold exposure (4°C) was evaluated. Compared to saline-treated controls, αMPT: 1) significantly reduced plasma NE and DA in both normal and cold stress conditions, 2) significantly increased plasma E in both environments, and 3) stimulated the adrenal cortex. These findings suggest that tyrosine hydroxylase inhibition and consequent catecholamine synthesis blockade disrupts the homeokinesis of adrenergic processes and may present a significant stress to the intact animal.  相似文献

Castrated hamsters which were transferred from long (14L:10D) to short (9L:15D) days and received testosterone-filled capsules for 1 week after transfer failed to show a significant suppression in the plasma levels of FSH and LH after capsule removal. In contrast, gonadotrophin concentrations were suppressed in hamsters in which the long-day castration response had been blocked with exogenous testosterone. After castration on long days and exposure to 10 weeks of short days pituitary gland weight and gonadotrophin content, as well as plasma FSH titres, were higher in control animals than in those that had received testosterone implants for 7 weeks of short days. The results suggest that failure of castrated hamsters to respond to the suppressive effects of short days reflects castration-induced changes in hypothalamo-pituitary physiology rather than a neuroendocrine mechanism by which photoperiod modulates gonadotrophin secretion.  相似文献

We have combined for modifications of common radioimmunoassay (RIA) techniques to increase the sensitivity of the gonadotropin assays by an order of magnitude compared with those generated according to the instructions provided by the National Pituitary Agency. The four modifications are: a) enzymatic radioiodination, b) purification of radiolabeled hormones by Sephadex and concanavalin A chromatography, c) reduced first antibody concentration, and d) a prolonged incubation time. These methods increase the sensitivities of the RIAs and allow for the quantitation of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in small volumes of plasma. We have used these methods to measure the changes in pulse frequency and amplitude of LH and FSH in ovariectomized hamsters after a variety of neuroendocrine manipulations. Alterations in catecholaminergic neurotransmission affect the frequency and amplitude of LH but not FSH release, and suggest that the hypothalamic mechanisms responsible for LH releasing hormone (LHRH)-mediated LH release are distinct from those that regulate FSH secretion. Further, alterations in LHRH-pituitary interactions (elicited by injections of LHRH antisera or a potent LHRH agonist), suggest the existence of separate control mechanisms responsible for LH and FSH release at the level of the adenohypophysis. Combined, these studies provide further evidence for complex and separate neuroendocrine regulatory control over the secretion of each gonadotropin.  相似文献

The dependence of the acute increases in plasma gonadotropins following castration on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) was assessed with the use of a potent LHRH antagonist [ALHRH; (Nac-L-Ala1,p-Cl-D-Phe2,D-Trp3,6) LHRH]. Blood samples were collected from male and female rats at the time of castration and 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h following and plasma gonadotropin levels were determined. Immediately following castration (diestrus I for females) animals received one of the following treatments: females-vehicle, 100 micrograms ALHRH, 50 micrograms estrogen benzoate (EB), or 100 micrograms ALHRH + 50 micrograms EB; males-vehicle, 100 micrograms ALHRH, 500 micrograms testosterone propionate (TP), or 100 micrograms ALHRH + 500 micrograms TP. ALHRH blocked the selective increase in plasma follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) observed in female rats as well as the parallel increases in both gonadotropins seen in male rats following castration. Administration of EB or ALHRH + EB to females significantly suppressed both gonadotropins compared with control levels. However, EB alone did not completely block the rise in plasma FSH in females. In males, all three treatments significantly suppressed the increases in both gonadotropins when compared with control levels. These data demonstrate that hypothalamic LHRH plays an essential role in the acute elevations of plasma gonadotropins following castration in rats. In addition, these data suggest that the selective rise of FSH in females is dependent on LHRH stimulation of pituitary gonadotropes.  相似文献
