Abstract:
The effect of ICV administered TSH on Brobeck's thermostatic hypothesis was evaluated by recording chronological changes in electrical activity of precise loci (POA, VMN and CO) coupled by rectal temperature changes in dogs. The study revealed 1. TSH action on thermoregulation is biphasic in nature. 2. This action of TSH is not an independent act but depends on the reaction of satiety centre.
