Study of neuromotor reaction times under the influence of thyrotropin-releasing hormone.

Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Thyroid Hormones and Quality of Life in Obese Postmenopausal Women

ABSTRACT            Background and objectives: Studies have shown that exercise can affect hormone secretion and some metabolic and endocrine functions. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of eight weeks of aerobic training on thyroid hormones and quality of life in obese postmenopausal women.            Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 21 obese (body mass index >30 Kg/m2)...

The Therapeutic Effect of Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone in Amyotrophic Sclerosis

Although the issue has not yet been fully resolved, there is reason to believe that TRI-I may have a trophic effect on the normal motoneuron and may transien­ tly improve the neurologic deficit in ALS. Since ALS is not a simple TRI-I deficiency disease, this improvement probably occurs via a secondary mecha -nism-possibly another neurotransmitter. It is uncertain at this time whether this effec...

Growth hormone, thyrotropin and prolactin responses to simultaneous administration of human growth hormone-releasing factor and thyrotropin releasing hormone in the bovine.

The effects of intravenous injection of synthetic human pancreatic growth hormone-releasing factor-44-NH2 (hpGRF-44) and synthetic thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), or hpGRF-44 in combination with TRH on growth hormone (GH), thyrotropin (TSH), and prolactin (PRL) release in dairy female calves (6- and 12-month-old) were studied. When 0.25 microgram of hpGRF-44 per kg of body weight (bw) was ...

Neuroprotective Effect of Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone (trh) against Glutamate Toxicity in Vitro

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone selectively depresses glutamate excitation of cerebral cortical neurons.

The microiontophoretic application of thyrotropin-releasing hormone causes a selective reduction in neuronal excitation evoked by L-glutamate but not by acetylcholine in rat cerebral cortex. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone has no influence on the activity of acetylcholinesterase or on choline uptake and release from cerebral synaptosomes. This evidence for a selective interaction between a centra...
