Estrogen effects on the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic system in the female rat brain.

Abstract:

:Estrogen effects on tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), monoamine oxidase types A and B (MAO), and dopamine (DA) in microdissected regions of the hypothalamus, preoptic area and substantia nigra (SNR) of the female rat brain were investigated. Ovariectomized (OVX) young adult female rats were implanted with single silastic capsules containing 100% estradiol valerate (EV). Control rats received empty silastic capsules. Two weeks following capsule insertion, EV decreased TH activity and DA concentration in the arcuate nucleus (AN) while no significant changes in TH activity or DA concentration were observed in the SNR, ventromedial nucleus (VMN), suprachiasmatic nucleus, paraventricular nucleus, medial preoptic nucleus, or the periventricular preoptic nucleus. Although estrogen suppressed TH and DA in the AN, 2 weeks following removal of the estrogen containing capsules, TH activity and DA concentration were restored to control (OVX) levels. Suppression of MAO activity occurred in both the AN and the VMN of rats implanted with EV capsules and returned to OVX levels following the removal of the estradiol load. These results revealed that estrogen effects on TH and MAO activities and DA concentration in the midbrain are region specific and reversible; and that among the dopaminergic systems studied, estrogen effects on TH and DA are confined to the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic system (TIDAS). Furthermore, these results support our hypothesis that estrogen is a key regulator of DA function in the TIDAS via effects on TH. The importance of these findings to the control of gonadotropin secretion and reproductive cyclicity is discussed.
