Effects of intraventricular 6-hydroxydopamine injections on serum prolactin and LH levels: absence of stress-induced pituitary prolactin release.

Abstract:

:The drug 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) has been reported to reduce hypothalamic norepinephrine (NE) content after administration into the lateral ventricle without altering the dopamine content of tubero-infundibular neurons. Serum prolactin levels in male rats injected with 2 X 250 mug 6-OHDA were significantly higher than in untreated control rats. Intraventricular injection of male rats with artificial cerebrospinal fluid resulted in elevated mean prolactin levels similar to those observed in 6-OHDA-treated animals. Further experimentation on animals decapitated at different times after removal from the animal quarters, indicates that prolcatin levels in 6-OHDA-treated rats are continuously elevated whereas they rise from basal levels to extremely high levels in CSF-treated rats, thus resulting in similar mean values. The CSF-treated controls ate hypersensitive to the stress of being removed from their normal environment. Such an effect was not observed in 6-OHDA-treated nor in untreated, and thus stress-inexperienced rats. In a long term study, serum prolactin and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels were followed over a period of 71 days after 6-OHDA treatment. Prolactin levels increased within one day after treatment and stayed at a high level for 15 days. Subnormal prolactin values were measured 37 days after 6-OHDA treatment. Serum LH levels were below normal 3 h and one day and were increased 37 and 71 days after 6-OHDA treatment. These results suggest that NE is important in the transmission of stressful stimuli to hypothalamic prolactin regulating centers. They further suggest functional recovery of LH and prolactin regulating mechanisms after 6-OHDA treatment.
