Abstract：
:To test the hypothesis that enkephalins, substance P, bradykinin and angiotensin II could act as neurohumoral modulators of hypothalamic function, these peptides (0.01-20 microgram) were injected into the general circulation of anesthetized rats, and changes in hypothalamo-neurohypophysial activity were determined by continuously monitoring the amplitude of antidromic compound action potentials (CAP) in the hypothalamo-hypophysial tract. A decrease of CAP amplitude was taken to indicate an increase of orthodromic impulse traffic. All peptides elicited a CAP decrease. On a molar basis when injected i.v., the enkephalin analog FK 33-824 was the most effective substance, followed by substance P, Leu-enkephalin and angiotensin II. Enkephalins and substance P injected through the internal carotid artery, were 2-5 times more effective than when injected i.v., whereas bradykinin was most effective when it reached the brain through a vertebral route. Angiotensin II produced the same CAP decrease irrespective of the route of administration and, in contradistinction to the other peptides, its effect was not abolished by stalk section. Tachyphylaxis and reversibility with naloxone was observed only for the enkephalins. The data suggest that sites of action are the hypothalamus for enkephalins and substance P, the neurohypophysis for angiotensin II, and the hindbrain for bradykinin.
