Abstract
A suitable preparation to study the effect of dopamine (DA) on in vitro LHRH secretion is presented. Enzymatic degradation of LHRH in the incubation medium is completely inhibited by bacitracin (2 X 10(-5) M). Ahigh potassium concentration (56mM) induces an increase in LHRH release from entire pieces of mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH), but not from a synaptosomal pellet; this release is inhibited when calcium is omitted. The depolarization-induced LHRH in the MBH. In contrast, DA (10(-6)M) is not effective in vitro on MBH from ovariectomized rats but induces a fast release of LHRH from MBH of normal male and estradiol-pretreated ovariectomized rats. The preparation presented here appears to be of great interest in investigating amine-steroid-LHRH interactions at the cellular level.
