Abstract:
Brain microdialysis is a method commonly exploited by neuropharmacologists to study the mechanism of action and preclinical features of centrally acting drugs. It allows measurement of chemical messengers released into the extracellular space, providing a first approximation of neuronal function in selected areas. In this study we have applied the microdialysis of the hypothalamus to evaluate the release of somatostatin from neurosecretory neurons which are involved in growth hormone regulation and validated this method with different challenges.
