Abstract
The effect of Freund's adjuvant injection on 24-h variation of circulating ACTH, prolactin, growth hormone (GH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, and of norepinephrine (NE) content, and dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5HT) turnover in median eminence, was examined in adult rats kept under light between 0800 and 2000 h daily. Groups of 6-10 animals received Freund's complete adjuvant or its vehicle at 1100 h 3 days before sacrifice and were killed by decapitation at six different time intervals throughout a 24-h cycle. In rats injected with adjuvant's vehicle, serum ACTH and prolactin exhibited peak values around the light-dark transition (p < 0.0001 and < 0.04, respectively), while the maximum in TSH was found in the late afternoon (p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). GH levels did not vary on a 24-h basis. In Freund's adjuvant-injected rats, 24-h variations of TSH levels became blunted, while 24-h variations of prolactin and ACTH persisted. Freund's adjuvant augmented serum ACTH and prolactin levels, and decreased GH and TSH levels (p < 0.0007, factorial ANOVA). Median-eminence NE content, and turnover of DA, assessed by measuring dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, DOPAC/DA ratio, and of 5HT, assessed by measuring 5-hydroxyindoleac...Continue Reading
