Abstract:
:The effects of iontophoretically applied human pancreatic growth hormone-releasing factor (hpGRF), peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI-27), and somatostatin (SS) on the extracellular activity of single cells in the hypothalamus, thalamus, and cortex of the rat brain were studied in urethane-anesthetized, male rats. Neurons with membrane sensitivity to hpGRF, PHI-27, and SS were present in each brain region. Although neurons excited by these peptides were encountered in thalamus and hypothalamus, depression of neuronal firing was the predominant response observed. Overall, the neurons responding to hpGRF also possessed membrane sensitivity to PHI-27, whereas, the hpGRF sensitive neurons appeared to be more divided as to their ability to respond to SS. The results clearly demonstrate that hpGRF and PHI-27 are capable of affecting the membrane excitability of neurons in several brain regions. The distribution of neurons sensitive to hpGRF suggests that hypothalamic GRF, in addition to its well documented role in the regulation of pituitary growth hormone secretion, may subserve other physiological events in the rat central nervous system as a neurotransmitter and/or neuromodulator.
