Effects of cortisol on 22 tuberoinfundibular (TI) neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus were examined in urethane-anesthetized rats. Iontophoretically applied cortisol excited 10 (45%) of 22 TI-neurons tested, whereas the cortisol inhibited 4 (31%) of 13 neurons in the periventricular hypothalamic nucleus. Intravenously applied cortisol (0.5 mg in 0.5 ml saline) excited 4 (36%) of 11 TI neurons tested and inhibited 1 (9%). These results suggest that cortisol may have an excitatory effect on TI neurons in the PVN.
在氨基甲酸乙酯麻醉的大鼠中,研究了皮质醇对下丘脑室旁核(PVN)中22个结节漏斗(TI)神经元的影响。通过离子电渗法施加皮质醇,在22个被测试的TI神经元中,有10个(45%)被兴奋,而在下丘脑室周核中,皮质醇抑制了13个神经元中的4个(31%)。静脉注射皮质醇(0.5毫克溶于0.5毫升盐水中),在11个被测试的TI神经元中,有4个(36%)被兴奋,1个(9%)被抑制。这些结果表明,皮质醇可能对PVN中的TI神经元有兴奋作用。
