Abstract
The effect of injection of 0.3 .mu.g of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) into the 3rd ventricle on heart rate and photically evoked potentials in the midbrain reticular formation in urethane-anesthetized rats was studied. TRH increased the heart rate and amplitude of the visual evoked potentials within a few minutes following injection. The intraventricular injections of LHRH [luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone] constituent amino acids of TRH and i.p. TSH [thyrotropin] did not exert any effect. This indicates that TRH is effective in the CNS in inducing tachycardia in the rat.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
