Glutamatergic innervation of corticotropin-releasing hormone- and thyrotropin-releasing hormone-synthesizing neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus of the rat.
Glutamate plays a role in the central regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and thyroid (HPT) axes. Until the recent discovery of vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUT1-3), there was no specific tool for the examination of the putative morphological relationship between the glutamatergic and the hypophysiotropic systems. Using antisera against VGLUT2, corticotropin-releasing ...
متن کاملبررسی تاثیر هشت هفته تمرینات متوسط و شدید بر سطوح پلاسمایی نوروپپتید Y و هورمون گرلین در رت‌های چاق نژاد اسپراگو- داولی
Background and Objective: Exercise and physical activity are the most impressive factors in consumption of cellular energy sources which may bring about some changes in key peptides that are effective in adjusting and balancing energy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the probable changes of plasma Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Ghrelin concentrations after 8 weeks of exercise with differ...
متن کاملLeptin prevents fasting-induced suppression of prothyrotropin-releasing hormone messenger ribonucleic acid in neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus.
Prolonged fasting is associated with a number of changes in the thyroid axis manifested by low serum T3 and T4 levels and, paradoxically, low or normal TSH. This response is, at least partly, caused by suppression of proTRH gene expression in neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and reduced hypothalamic TRH release. Because the fall in thyroid hormone levels can be blunted ...
متن کاملMedullary adrenergic neurons contribute to the cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript-immunoreactive innervation of thyrotropin-releasing hormone synthesizing neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus.
Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART)-IR axons densely innervate the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), partly arising from neuronal perikarya in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus. The source of the remaining CART innervation, however, is unknown. We have recently demonstrated that neurons co-containing adrenaline and CAR...
متن کاملRegulation of hypothalamic prohormone convertases 1 and 2 and effects on processing of prothyrotropin-releasing hormone.
Regulation of energy balance by leptin involves regulation of several neuropeptides, including thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). Synthesized from a larger inactive precursor, its maturation requires proteolytic cleavage by prohormone convertases 1 and 2 (PC1 and PC2). Since this maturation in response to leptin requires prohormone processing, we hypothesized that leptin might regulate hypoth...
