[Neuroendocrine effect of thyroliberin and its analogs]
Abstract:
In experiments on rats, thyroliberin (TRH) and its analogue pyroglutamyl-histidyl-prolinamide stimulating effects on the CNS were shown. They produced a decrease in some phases of the sleep duration (particularly, in the deep one) and augmented the awakening period. At the same time, the antagonistic effect of these compounds with respect to nembutal anaesthesia was seen. On the contrary, TRH analogue pyroglutamyl-seryl-glycinamide decreased the awakening time and prolonged some phases of the sleep, not exerting antagonistic action on nembutal toxic effect. Both TRH analogues did not influence TTH secretion.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...
Functions of Thyroid Hormones
TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...
Target Cell Response to Hormones
Notably, the cellular response can be regulated by altering the number of receptors expressed in the cell. For example, prolonged exposure to elevated hormone levels results in a gradual decline or down-regulation in the number of receptors for that specific hormone on the cell surface. Conversely, in response to low hormone levels, cells may use up-regulation, producing an...
