The role of endogenous corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the cocaine-induced corticosterone response was investigated by using the immunoneutralization and receptor blockade of endogenous CRF. Pretreatment with different dilutions (1:5, 1:10 and 1:20, i.c.v.) of CRF antibody and different doses of an antagonist for CRF receptors, alpha-helical CRF9-41 (alpha h-CRF, 0.001-1.0 micrograms, i.c.v.), dose-dependently prevented the cocaine-induced increase in corticosterone level. These results support the hypothesis that the activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by cocaine is mediated through the release of endogenous CRF.
通过对内源性促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子(CRF)进行免疫中和及受体阻断,研究了内源性CRF在可卡因诱导的皮质酮反应中的作用。用不同稀释度(脑室内注射,1:5、1:10和1:20)的CRF抗体以及不同剂量的CRF受体拮抗剂α-螺旋CRF9-41(αh-CRF,0.001 - 1.0微克,脑室内注射)进行预处理,可剂量依赖性地阻止可卡因诱导的皮质酮水平升高。这些结果支持以下假说:可卡因对下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺(HPA)轴的激活是通过内源性CRF的释放介导的。
