Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is engaged in the modulation of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system activity. Effects of repeated intravenously injections of TRH in a dose of 100 ng/100 g b.w. on vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT) biosynthesis and release from the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system was investigated in rats in different age (1-, 3- or 7-months of the life). To estimate the biosynthesis rate of both neurohormones the colchicine procedure was used (the dose of 5 µg/5 µl icv 20 hours before the decapitation). It has been observed that vasopressin synthesis in the hypothalamus increased gradually with maturation of rats, while OT biosynthesis decreased in the same animals. Hypothalamic biosynthesis rate of VP and OT is most effective in youngest rats and declines during the adolescence of animals. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone directly affects VP-ergic and OT-ergic hypothalamic neurons activity and both neurohormones biosynthesis process. This effect, however, is opposed: TRH acts as a stimulator of vasopressin biosynthesis most of all in young male rats and as an inhibitor for oxytocin biosynthesis especially in mature animals.
