Acetylcholine and Thyroid Arterial Infusion of Acetylcholine and Thyroid Activity

چکیده
There is evidence that the sympathetic nervous system exerts a control on human thyroid function via an adrenergic innervation of follicle cells. The present study demonstrates that cholinergic nerve fibers also reach follicle cells in the normal human thyroid. In addition, cholinergic agents were found to enhance cGMP accumulation in human thyroid tissue. This effect was blocked by atropine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, but not by d-tubocurarine, a nicotinic receptor antagonist. These results provide morphological and biochemical arguments supporting a role of the parasympathetic nervous system in the regulation of thyroid function in man. Endocrinology. 1979 Jul;105(1):7-9.

Stimulation in vitro of glucose oxidation in thyroid by acetylcholine.
Evidence for the existence of the hexose monophosphate pathway for glucose oxidation in the thyroid has been previously rep-orted (l-3). It was also shown that thyroid-stimulating hormone stimulates the oxidation of glucose-l-Cl4 and glucase-6-U4 to Cl402 in vitro. This effect was evident within 5 minutes after adding TSH’ to thyroid slices. This early increase in glucose oxidation suggested th...

Background and Objective: The Ventral Tegmental Area is a part of the mesolimbic structure. In addition to its role in motivation, mood, cognition, schizophrenia, addiction and Parkinson’s disease, it is involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular system. The presence of cholinergic afferent fibers in the VTA has been demonstrated but there is no specific information about its role in card...

Elevation of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate levels in dog thyroid slices caused by acetylcholine and sodium fluoride.
Cyclic guanosine 3’,5’-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) levels were determined in dog thyroid slices using the protein-binding method. [aH]Guanine incorporation into cyclic GMP was also determined by thin layer chromatography. Basal levels of cyclic GMP in dog thyroid slices were usually 10 to 30 pmoles per g wet tissue. These values were at least lo-fold lower than the cyclic adenosine 3’,5’-monopho...
متن کاملAction of Phospholipase C on the Thyroid
Treatment of dog thyroid slices with an enzyme present in the growth medium of Clostridium perjringens makes them unresponsive to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) as measured by the oxidation of glucose-1J4C to 14C02. This enzyme appears to be phospholipase C since (a) both the anti-TSH effect and the phospholipase activity are inseparable over a 240-fold purification, (b) both activities are ...
