Injection of muscimol in dorsomedial hypothalamus and stress-induced Fos expression in paraventricular nucleus.
Prior microinjection of the GABA(A)-receptor agonist muscimol into the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) in conscious rats attenuates the increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and circulating adrenocorticotrophic hormone seen in air stress. Here, we examined the effect of similar treatment on air stress- or hemorrhage-induced Fos expression in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Muscimol (80 pmo...
متن کاملIntraperitoneal injection of ghrelin induces Fos expression in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in rats.
Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid peptide hormone secreted from the stomach that acts as a gut-brain peptide with potent stimulatory effects on food intake. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of peripheral ghrelin (1 and 10 nmol/rat) injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) on food intake and neuronal activity in the hypothalamus and brain stem, as assessed by c-Fos-like-immunoreacti...
متن کاملMuscimol acts in dorsomedial but not paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus to suppress cardiovascular effects of stress.
Both the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH) and the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN) have been implicated in the neural control of the cardiovascular response to stress. We used the GABAA agonist muscimol to inhibit neuronal activation and attempted to identify hypothalamic nuclei required for the cardiovascular response to air stress. Chronically instrumented rats received bilate...
متن کاملPsychostimulant-induced Fos protein expression in the thalamic paraventricular nucleus.
Lesions of glutamatergic afferents to the nucleus accumbens have been reported to block psychostimulant-induced behavioral sensitization. However, thalamic glutamatergic projections to the nucleus accumbens have received little attention in the context of psychostimulant actions. We examined the effects of acute amphetamine and cocaine administration on expression of Fos protein in the thalamic...
متن کاملEffect of lactation on the expression of gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone in dorsomedial and paraventricular nuclei of the rat hypothalamus
Introduction: Gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH) is believed to be an inhibitor of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. The role of GnIH in lactational inhibition of gonadotropin secretion is not well known therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of lactation on expression of GnIH in these nuclei of lactating and non-lactating rats. Methods: Ten po...
