摘要
To clarify the regulatory mechanisms for the secretion of somatostatin (SRI F) from the hypothalamus, the effects of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) on SRIF secretion into hypophysial portal blood were examined in pentobarbital-anesthetized male rats. Neither the concentration of SRIF in portal plasma nor the secretion rate of SRIF was changed after i.c.v. administration of 0.9% saline. Administration of 10 ng or 5 mg human GRF i.c.v. produced a significant increase in the portal plasma concentration and secretion rate of SR1F. Likewise, 5 mg CRF significantly increased the portal plasma concentration and secretion rate of SRIF. These results suggest that the neuropeptides GRF and CRF centrally influence SRIF secretion into hypophysial portal blood. © 1990 S. Karger AG, Basel.
