Increase of urocortin-like immunoreactivity in the rat hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system after salt loading and hypophysectomy.

Abstract:

:The effect of chronic salt loading on urocortin-like immunoreactivity (Ucn-IR) was investigated in the rat hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system. In control rats a few Ucn-IR neurons were observed scattered throughout the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and few in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). A small number of Ucn-IR fibers were observed scattered in the median eminence (ME) and the posterior pituitary. However, after 5 days of chronic administration of 2% saline, a marked increase in the number of Ucn-IR perikarya and fibers was observed in the PVN and the SON. Additionally, Ucn-IR varicosities and fibers were found in the internal zone of the ME and in the posterior pituitary. To confirm the findings and examine the possible involvement of anterior pituitary function in synthesis of Ucn, surgical hypophysectomized rats were used. Five days after hypophysectomy, a marked increase in Ucn-IR was observed in the PVN, the SON, and both the internal and the external zone of the ME. These results suggest that Ucn in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system may be involved in the regulation of salt balance, and possibly in the stimulation of ACTH release from the anterior pituitary.
