The intracarotid injection of both synthetic melanocyte-stimulating hormone release-inhibiting factor (MIF) and purified MIF prepared from bovine hypothalami induces arginine vasotocin release into cerebrospinal fluid of cats and significantly decreases the pineal arginine vasotocin content at 5 minutes after the injection. The present results demonstrate an extrapituitary endocrine effect of synthetic and purified bovine MIF.
向猫的颈动脉内注射合成的促黑素细胞激素释放抑制因子(MIF)以及从牛下丘脑制备的纯化MIF,均可诱导精氨酸血管催产素释放到脑脊液中,并在注射后5分钟时显著降低松果体中精氨酸血管催产素的含量。目前的结果证明了合成的和纯化的牛MIF的垂体外内分泌作用。
