P-21: RF-Amide Related Peptide mRNA Expression in Male Rat Dorsomedial Hypothalamic Nucleus during Chronic Stress
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Background Chronic stress induces male reproductive dysfunction; however, the involved mechanisms are not clear. It has been suggested that the gonadotrophin-inhibitory hormone, known as RF-amide related peptide (RFRP) in mammalian species, may mediate this inhibitory effect of stress. The objective of the present study was to compare the effect of chronic stress and glucocorticoids receptor antagonist (RU486) on expression of RFRP mRNA in dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH) of rats. MaterialsAndMethods Twenty four male rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain were randomly allotted into four equal groups (n=6); stress, RU-486, stress/RU-486, and control groups. In stress group, the rats were immobilized, 1 h/day, for 12 days. In RU-486 group, the rats were injected subcutaneously with RU-486 (2.5 mg/kg) for 12 days. In stress/RU-486 group, the rats were injected subcutaneously with the same dose of RU-486 1 hours before the stress process for 12 days. The control group was allowed to freely move in the cages and did not receive any stress or drug. DMH of all rats were collected after 12 days. Moreover, five rats were ethically killed 2 weeks after castration and served as real time PCR control group. Relative expression of RFRP mRNAs (compared to the castrated group) in DMH was determined using real-time PCR. Mean of data in four groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and LSD post-hoc test (SPSS 22; P

P-5: Effect of Chronic Stress on Kiss-1 mRNA Expression in Male Rat Arcuate Hypothalamic Nucleus
Background Kisspeptin is a potent stimulator of the hypothalamic- pituitary-gonadal axis and may play a critical role in modulating of stress-induced suppression of reproduction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of glucocorticoid receptor antagonist (RU486) and stress on expression of Kiss-1 mRNA in arcuate nucleus (ARC) of rat hypothalamus. MaterialsAndMethods Twenty ...

The effects of chronic stress and glucocorticoids receptor antagonist (RU486) on expression of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) mRNA in arcuate nucleus (ARC) of male rats were evaluated. In this study, adult male Sprague Dawley rats were placed into four groups (n=6/group) stress, RU486, stress/RU486, and control groups. In stress group, the rats were restrained, 1 h/day, for 12 days. In RU486 gr...

BACKGROUND RFamide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3) and kisspeptin (KiSS-1) are known to respectively inhibit and stimulate gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and lute- inizing hormone (LH) secretion in rat. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relative mRNA expression of RFRP-3 and KiSS-1 in the hypothalamus of pregnant rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a randomized controlled experime...

Objective An abnormality in pulse amplitude and frequency of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion is the most characteristics of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). On the other hand, arginine-phenylalanine-amide (RFamide)-related peptide-3 (RFRP3) inhibits the secretion of GnRH in mammalian hypothalamus. Therefore, the current study evaluated the expression of RFRP3 mRNA in dorsomed...
