Antagonism of the analeptic activity of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) by agents which enhance GABA transmission.

Abstract:

:Administration of 10 mg/kg TRH to mice was found to reduce the sleep and hypothermia induced by 4.7 g/kg ethanol. However, TRH did not reduce the sleep of mice that were given gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHBA), baclophen, or aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA) in combination with 3 g/kg/ ethanol. TRH also failed to reverse the hypothermia induced by the combination of ethanol and baclophen or GHBA, and the characteristic neurological effects of TRH e.g. tremor, increased muscle tone, and increased respiratory rate were reduced. In addition, TRH-induced locomotor stimulation was prevented by pretreatment with small doses of the GABA-ergic agents, and while 30 mg/kg TRH reduced the hypothermia produced by large doses of the GABA-ergic drugs, it did not antagonize the locomotor retardation produced by baclophen or GHBA. A hypothesis that the analeptic effects of TRH may be medicated via an inhibition of GABA systems is discussed.
