Androstenedione effects on the vasopressin innervation of the rat brain.
The steroid hormone androstenedione profoundly influences the development and expression of sexual and aggressive behavior. The neural basis of these effects are, however, poorly understood. In this study we evaluated androstenedione's ability to maintain vasopressin peptide levels in the gonadal steroid-responsive vasopressin cells of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and the centromedia...
متن کاملDecline of vasopressin immunoreactivity and mRNA levels in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis following castration.
Vasopressinergic (VP) neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) of the rat are regulated by gonadal steroids. Gonadectomy causes the projections of the BNST to lose their VP immunoreactivity gradually over a period lasting more than 2 months. Here we have compared the rate of decline of VP mRNA and VP immunoreactivity in the BNST of adult male rats following castration. In exper...
متن کاملGlutaminergic receptors in rostral ventrolateral medulla mediate the cardiovascular responses to activation of bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in female rats
The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) has been known to contain estrogen (E)-concentrating neurons. In addition, injections of E into BST have been reported to potentiate the sympathoinhibitory arterial pressure (AP) and heart rate (HR) responses elicited by glutamate (Glu) stimulation. In this study, the effect of glutamate antagonist receptors in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVL...

متن کاملThe role of muscarnic cholinergic receptor of the bed nucleus of stria terminalis on cardiovascular response and baroreflex modulation in rat.
Introduction: The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) is a limbic structure which is involved in cardiovascular regulation and baroreflex modulation. The presence of cholinergic synaptic terminalis with high level of muscarinic receptors in the BST has been demonstrated. This study was performed to find the role of the cholinergic muscarinic receptor in cardiovascular response and baro...
