The effect of posterior hypothalamic deafferentation (PHD) or hypothalamic serotonin (5-HT) depletion by 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine on corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), ACTH and corticosterone (CS) responses, following photic stimulation, was investigated in male rats. In intact animals, photic stimulation caused median eminence (ME) CRH depletion and a rise in serum ACTH and CS levels. In rats with PHD, in which previous studies have demonstrated 5-HT depletion, or with neurotoxin induced hypothalamic 5-HT reduction, these responses were markedly inhibited. This indicates that the blockage in the release of ME CRH into the portal circulation in rats with hypothalamic 5-HT depletion is responsible for the inhibition of the pituitary-adrenocortical responses following photic stimulation.
在雄性大鼠中,研究了下丘脑后部去传入神经(PHD)或用5,7 - 二羟基色胺使下丘脑5 - 羟色胺(5 - HT)耗竭对光刺激后促肾上腺皮质激素释放激素(CRH)、促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)和皮质酮(CS)反应的影响。在完整动物中,光刺激导致正中隆起(ME)CRH耗竭以及血清ACTH和CS水平升高。在先前研究已证明存在5 - HT耗竭的PHD大鼠或神经毒素诱导下丘脑5 - HT减少的大鼠中,这些反应受到明显抑制。这表明下丘脑5 - HT耗竭的大鼠中ME CRH向门脉循环释放受阻是光刺激后垂体 - 肾上腺皮质反应受到抑制的原因。
