Much of the centrally available oxytocin (OT) is synthesized in magnocellular neurons located in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. This same area is home to parvocellular corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) synthesizing neurons that regulate activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. A large body of data indicates that complex interactions between these systems inextricably link central OT signaling with the neuroendocrine response to stress. This review focuses on a small but diverse set of cellular and synaptic mechanisms that have been proposed to underlie intrahypothalamic OT/CRF interactions during the response to acute stress.
大部分中枢可用的催产素(OT)是在下丘脑室旁核中的大细胞神经元中合成的。这个区域也是合成促肾上腺皮质激素释放激素(CRH)的小细胞神经元的所在地,这些神经元调节下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺(HPA)轴的激活。大量数据表明,这些系统之间的复杂相互作用将中枢OT信号与对应激的神经内分泌反应紧密联系在一起。本综述聚焦于一小部分但多样的细胞和突触机制,这些机制被认为是急性应激反应期间下丘脑内OT/CRF相互作用的基础。
