The effects of periventricular nucleus (Pe) lesioning on the plasma growth hormone (GH) levels and the anterior pituitary (A.P.) and brain somatostatin (SRIF) receptors were studied. A transient significant increase in plasma GH level in lesioned rats was detected 1 day after the operation. This elevated level of plasma GH started to decrease 3 days after lesioning. These changes were paralleled by an increase in binding of 125I-Tyr11-SRIF-14 to the A.P. 1 day after lesioning. This result could further confirm that the SRIF inhibitory action on GH release takes place at the A.P. level. Also, a transient increase in binding of the radioligand was detected in some brain areas 1 and 4 days after the lesion. However, the mechanism by which this increase takes place remains to be elucidated.
研究了室周核(Pe)损伤对血浆生长激素(GH)水平、垂体前叶(A.P.)和脑生长抑素(SRIF)受体的影响。术后1天,在损伤大鼠中检测到血浆GH水平短暂显著升高。损伤后3天,血浆GH水平开始下降。这些变化与损伤后1天125I-Tyr11-SRIF-14与垂体前叶结合增加相平行。这一结果进一步证实了生长抑素对GH释放的抑制作用发生在垂体前叶水平。此外,损伤后1天和4天,在一些脑区检测到放射性配体结合短暂增加。然而,这种增加发生的机制仍有待阐明。
