Effects of Sex Steroids on the Choline Acetylase Activity in the Hypothalamus of Female Rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The central nervous system, especially the hypothalamus, exerts an influence on the gonadotropin secretion from the anterior pituitary, resulting in the stimulation of gonads. The sex steroids, in turn, react back on the central nervous system in order to adjust the anterior pituitary function for reproductive cycles (Harris, 1955a). As reported in the previous paper (Kobayashi et al., 1963), the characteristic

The Effects of Female Sex Steroids on Gastric Secretory Responses of Rat Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Objective(s) Gastric ulceration is induced by various forms of stress like surgery, ischemia and trauma. The female sex has more resistance to stress and the gastrointestinal lesions happen fewer than male sex. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of estradiol and progesterone on the gastric acid and pepsin levels following traumatic brain injury (TBI) induction. Materials and M...
متن کاملStress-related effects on neuronal morphology and choline acetyltransferase activity in the hippocampus
The effects of semi-chronic stress on neuronal morphology and choline acetyltransferase were studied by injecting rats with dexamethasone. It was found that in the dexamethasone-treated rats the choline acetyltransferase activity had increased in the area where the fibers from the perforant pathway synapse with the granular cell layer of the dentate gyrus and also where the mossy fibers of the ...

متن کاملOrexin Decreases Aromatase Gene Expression in The Hypothalamus of Androgenized Female Rats
Objective Orexin is a hypothalamic orexigenic neuropeptide, which third cerebral injection of it mainly exerts inhibitory effects on reproductive functions. It increases significantly the Aromatase (Cyp19) gene expression in the hypothalamus of male rats. Aromatase is an enzyme which converts androgens to estradiol in the hypothalamus of rats. Prenatal or neonatal exposure of females to testost...
متن کاملA comparative study on pain sensation in morphine-dependent male and female rats in the presence and absence of gonads using formalin test
Various physiological parameters including level of sex steroids undergo alterations following chronic administration of morphine. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of morphine on phasic and tonic pain was studied in morphine-dependent male and female rats in the presence and absence of gonads using formalin test. In addition, for evaluation of differences in dependency, withd...
