Prostaglandin E release by rat medial basal hypothalamus in vitro. Inhibition by melatonin at submicromolar concentrations

Melatonin depressed PGE release by rat medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) in vitro at concentrations 10−8 M or greater. The two-fold increase in PGE release induced by adding 10−4 M norepinephrine to MBH explants was also impaired by melatonin at micromolar or greater concentrations. These data support...

Descripción
Sumario:Melatonin depressed PGE release by rat medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) in vitro at concentrations 10−8 M or greater. The two-fold increase in PGE release induced by adding 10−4 M norepinephrine to MBH explants was also impaired by melatonin at micromolar or greater concentrations. These data support the view that melatonin is a physiological inhibitor of PG synthesis in MBH. © 1980, All rights reserved.
