Molecular species of prostaglandins involved in modulating luteinising hormone pulses of female rats under infectious stress conditions
Mammalian reproductive function is controlled by the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal (HPG) axis, which is suppressed under infectious stress conditions. By analysing the pulsatility of luteinising hormone (LH), we have previously demonstrated that prostaglandins (PGs) in the central nervous system mediate infectious stress to suppress the activity of the HPG axis. The present study aimed to characterise the types of PGs responsible for suppression of the HPG axis. We focused on three major types of PGs: PGE2, PGD2 and PGF2α. We used female rats overiectomised bilaterally 1 week before the experiments. Lipopolysacchari...

Mineralocorticoid receptor associates with pro ‐inflammatory bias in the hippocampus of spontaneously hypertensive rats
Damage observed in the hippocampus of the adult spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) resembles the neuropathology of mineralocorticoid‐induced hypertension, supporting a similar endocrine dysfunction in both entities. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that increased expression of the hippocampal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in SHR animals is associated with a prevalent expression of pro‐inflammatory over anti‐inflammatory factors. Accordingly, in the hippocampus, we measured mRNA expression and immunoreactivity of the MR and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction a...

The role of prolactin in the suppression of Crh mRNA expression during pregnancy and lactation in the mouse
This study investigated the role of prolactin in regulating the basal activity of the HPA axis during pregnancy and lactation in the mouse, focussing upon the corticotropin‐releasing hormone (CRH) neurons. Using in situ hybridisation, a decrease in Crh mRNA‐expressing cell number in pregnant (55.6 ± 9.0 cells per section) and lactating (97.4 ± 4.9) mice in comparison to virgin controls was characterised (186.8 ± 18.7, p < 0.01 Tukey‐Kramer test; n = 6‐7 per group). Removal of the pups (24 h), and thus the associated suckling‐induced prolactin secretion, restored CRH neuron number (180.1 ± 19.7). To specifi...

Evidence of involvement of neurone ‐glia/neurone‐neurone communications via gap junctions in synchronised activity of KNDy neurones
Pulsatile secretion of gonadotrophin‐releasing hormone (GnRH)/luteinising hormone is indispensable for the onset of puberty and reproductive activities at adulthood in mammalian species. A cohort of neurones expressing three neuropeptides, namely kisspeptin, encoded by the Kiss1 gene, neurokinin B (NKB) and dynorphin A, localised in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), so‐called KNDy neurones, comprises a putative intrinsic source of the GnRH pulse generator. Synchronous activity among KNDy neurones is considered to be required for pulsatile GnRH secretion. It has been reported that gap junctions play a key role in ...
