Inhibitory effect of 5-hydroxytryptophane on the induction of persistent estrus by androgen in the rat.

چکیده
Effects of monoamines or its precursors on the induction of persistent estrus by testosterone propionate (T.P.) were studied in Wistar strain female rats. Daily treatment with 5-hydroxytryptophane (5-HTP) for the first 10 days of life delayed the occurrence of persistent estrus in rats given T.P. at 4 days of age. The onset of persistent estrus occurred in this group of animals at 67.1+/-2.5 days of age compared with 45.1+/-1.4 days of age for the saline treated control group. The role of hypothalamic monoamines in contributing to the induction of persistent estrus by T.P. treatment of neonatal rats is discussed.

Alteration by neonatal hypothyroidism of the critical period for the induction of persistent estrus in the rat.
The effects of hypothyroidism for a short period of postnatal life on the induction of persistent estrus by androgen were investigated in female rats of 10 and 13 days of age. Hypothyroidal new born rats produced by feeding propyl thiouracil (PTU) to the mother rats, were more succeptible to the persistent-estrus inductive influence of androgen than normal and thyroxine-therapied hypothyroidal ...
متن کاملImpact of Duration and Severity of Persistent Pain on Programmed Cell Death
Programmed cell death is a highly regulated form of cell death, mostly distinguished by the activation of a family of cystein-aspartate proteases (caspases) that cleave various proteins resulting in morphological and biochemical changes characteristic of this form of cell death. Several recent studies have addressed the role of programmed cell death in inflammatory and chronic pain states. Casp...

متن کاملChanges in beta 1 and beta 2 integrin genes expression in rat lumbar spinal cord is supportive of the inhibitory effect of chronic pain on the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia
Introduction: In order to study the alterations of beta 1 and 2 integrins mRNA level in rat lumbar spinal cord following the induction of chronic pain and its effect on the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia, we examined the level of expression of these genes in the presence of chronic pain, which is an inhibitor of morphine tolerance. We used induction of chronic pain alone and ...
متن کاملEffect of Norepinephrine depletion on induction of experience dependent plasticity in male rat barrel cortex
Introduction: Barrel cortex of rats is a part of somatosensory cortex, which receives information from facial whiskers. Vibrisectomy by sensory deprivation leads to some changes in the barrel cortex, which have been known as experience dependent plasticity. On the other hand, Norepinephrine (NE) and locus coeruleus, which is the main source of NE, influenced response properties of cortical bar...
