Abstract:
:An initial study was performed to ascertain the effects of anisomycin, a reversible inhibitor of protein synthesis, on pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) release in adult, ovarietomized (OVX) rats. For this experiment, rats OVX 3-4 weeks earlier were fitted with indwelling atrial cannulae. On the next day (approximately 13.00 h), the rats received a subcutaneous injection of either 100 mg/kg body weight (BW) anisomycin or its saline vehicle. Administration of anisomycin significantly suppressed mean plasma LH levels, mean trough values, and both LH pulse frequency (saline: 6.3 pulses/3 h vs. anisomycin: 2.7 pulses/3 h) and amplitude. To determine whether anisomycin affected anterior pituitary LH responses to LH-releasing hormone (LHRH), a second experiment was performed in which saline- and anisomycin-treated OVX rats were given an intravenous injection of 10 ng/100 g BW LHRH 1.5 h later (14.30 h). Rats then were sacrificed and the anterior pituitary and brain removed. Whereas preinjection plasma LH levels were significantly lower in anisomycin-treated rats, they were significantly higher in anisomycin-treated rats 20 min after LHRH. Consequently, mean maximal increments and percent increments were significantly higher in anisomycin-treated rats. AP LH content and content of LHRH in the medial preoptic and suprachiasmatic nuclei were not influenced by anisomycin treatment. However, median eminence (ME) LHRH concentrations in anisomycin-treated rats were almost double the LHRH levels measured in control rats. A third study was conducted to assess the effects of anisomycin on basal and potassium (K+)-stimulated LHRH release from superfused ME explants.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
