摘要

In recent years nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an important intra- and intercellular transmitter involved in the control of hypothalamic-pituitary axis. In order to discriminate the potential actions of NO at hypothalamic or pituitary level in the control of PRL and LH release, we have studied PRL and LH secretion by dispersed pituitary cells obtained from males, cycling and lactating females in the presence of 1) sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a NO donor; 2) cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), the second messenger for a wide range of NO actions; 3) Nw-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (NAME), a competitive inhibitor of NO synthase (NOS) and 4) oxadialoquinoxalione (OQD) and LY 83,583, antagonists of guanylyl cyclases. We found that SNP (at doses of 100 and 500 micromol) stimulated LH and FSH release and partially blocked the inhibitory action of dopamine (50 and 100 nmol) on prolactin secretion. These effects were not mimicked by cGMP and remained in the presence of OQD and LY 83,583. NAME alone had no significant effect on hormone secretion. These results suggest that NO plays a role in the control of gonadotropins and prolactin secretion acting directly at the pituitary level and that these effects are mediated by mechanisms other than changes in cGMP levels.
