  • Title: [Changes in the activity of the supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus and distal portions of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal neurosecretory system of guinea pigs under the influence of high environmental temperature].
    Author: Vladimirov SV, Ivanova GN.
    Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1976 Sep; 71(9):36-41. PubMed ID: 185988.
    Abstract:
    The keeping of guinea pigs in a thermochamber at 37 degrees C for 3 days resulted in increased releasing of neurohormones of the posterior lobe of the hypophysis. By the end of the 3d day there was no substantial difference between the average logarhythm of the volume of cell nuclei of the supraoptic nucleus of experimental animals and that of intact animals. Injection of ACTH after a preliminary three-day presence of the animal in the thermochamber caused a pronounced inhibition of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal neurosecretory system (HHNS). The HHNS of animals subjected to 3-day-long continuous exposure to high temperature, in contrast to the HHNS of intact animals is not capable to increase its activity in responses to stress (immobilization).
