Potente actividad antidopaminérgica del estradiol a nivel pituitario sobre la liberación de prolactina
Resumen
El estradiol invirtió la inhibición del agonista de la dopamina de la liberación de prolactina en las células de la hipófisis de la rata. Esto sugiere que las hormonas periféricas interfieren directamente con la dopamina.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Endocrinología Endocrinología.
- La neuroendocrinología en neuroendocrinología.
- Biología celular Biología celular.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los agonistas de la dopamina inhiben la secreción de prolactina.
- La liberación de prolactina está regulada por complejas interacciones hormonales.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el efecto directo del 17beta-estradiol en la inhibición de la prolactina mediada por la dopamina.
- Explorar el potencial de los cultivos de células pituitarias como modelo para el control dopaminérgico.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizaron cultivos celulares de la hipófisis anterior de rata primaria.
- Las células fueron preincubadas con 17beta-estradiol.
- Se midieron los efectos de los agonistas de la dopamina (dihidroergocornina, RU 24213) en la liberación de prolactina.
Principales resultados:
- El 17beta-estradiol revirtió casi por completo los efectos inhibidores de los agonistas de la dopamina.
- Esta reversión se produjo tanto para la liberación basal como para la liberación de prolactina inducida por la hormona liberadora de tirotropina.
Conclusiones:
- La hormona periférica 17beta-estradiol interfiere directamente con la acción de la dopamina en las células pituitarias.
- Los cultivos primarios de células pituitarias de rata proporcionan un modelo viable para estudiar el control dopaminérgico de la secreción de prolactina.

Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis
66.1K
The response to stress—be it physical or psychological, acute or chronic—involves activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis is part of the neuroendocrine system because it involves both neuronal and hormonal communication. Its function is to regulate homeostatic systems—metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune—providing the necessary means to respond to a stressor.

Hormones of the Pituitary Gland
10.4K
The small, pea-sized pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain. It is crucial in regulating various bodily functions, from growth to reproduction. The gland is divided into the anterior lobe and the posterior lobe. The secretory cell clusters in the pars distalis of the anterior pituitary lobe are controlled by hypothalamic regulators and synthesize six primary hormones.
The most abundantly secreted hormone from the anterior lobe is the growth hormone, which controls overall growth by...

The Pituitary Gland
10.8K
The pituitary is a small endocrine organ in the sphenoid bone under the hypothalamus. Primarily, the pituitary in adults has two distinct anatomical and functional regions— the anterior and posterior lobes. During human fetal development, a third pituitary gland region called the pars intermedia atrophies and disappears. However, some of its cells migrate and exist adjacent to the anterior pituitary in adults.

Leveling Effect
1.4K
In acid-base chemistry, the leveling effect refers to the limitation imposed by the solvent on the strength of acids and bases in solution. When a base stronger than the solvent's conjugate base is used, it deprotonates the solvent until the base is entirely consumed, making it ineffective against weaker acids. Conversely, an acid stronger than the solvent's conjugate acid protonates the solvent until the acid is depleted, rendering it ineffective against weaker bases. Essentially, the...

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness
743
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Energy-releasing Steps of Glycolysis
146.8K
Glycolysis is divided into two phases based on whether energy is utilized or released. While the first phase consumes ATP, the second phase produces energy in the form of ATP and NADH. The energy is released over a sequence of reactions that turns G3P into pyruvate. The energy-releasing phase—steps 6-10 of glycolysis—occurs twice, once for each of the two 3-carbon sugars produced during steps 1-5 of the first phase.
