- W2009664046 abstract "The involvement of nitric oxide (NO) as a gaseous neurotransmitter in the hypothalamic control of pituitary LH secretion has been demonstrated. NO, as a diffusible signaling gas, has the ability to control and synchronize the activity of the neighboring cells. NO is secreted at the median eminence (ME), the common termination field for the antehypophysiotropic neurons, under the stimulation of other signaling substances. At the ME, NO stimulates GnRH release from neuroendocrine terminals. The present studies were undertaken to determine whether NO is secreted spontaneously from ME fragments ex vivo and whether its secretion is correlated to GnRH release. To accomplish this, female rats were killed at different time points of the day and/or of the estrous cycle. The spontaneous NO release was monitored in real time, with an amperometric probe, during 4 periods of 30 min, from individual ME fragments (for each time point, n = 4). GnRH levels were measured in parallel for each incubation-period by RIA. The results revealed that NO was released in a pulsatile manner from female ME fragments and, unambiguously, that the amplitude of NO secretion varied markedly across the estrous cycle. Indeed, though the NO pulse period (32 +/- 1 min, n = 36) and duration (21 +/- 2 min, n = 36) did not vary significantly across the estrous cycle, the amplitude of this secretion pulse was significantly higher on proestrus (Pro; 39 +/- 3 nM, n = 20), compared with diestrus (16 +/- 1 nM, n = 8) or estrus (23 +/- 3 nM, n = 8, P < 0.05). The GnRH levels in the incubation medium were positively correlated to NO secretion across the estrous cycle (r = 0.86, P < 0.003, n = 9), confirming that NO and GnRH release are coupled. Furthermore, 5 x 10(-7) M L-N(5)-(1-iminoethyl)ornithine (L-NIO), a NO synthase inhibitor, succeeded in inhibiting the strong NO-GnRH secretory coupling and GnRH release on PRO: Because at this concentration, L-NIO selectively inhibits endothelial NO synthase, the results further demonstrate that the major source of NO involved in GnRH release at the ME is endothelial in origin. Additionally, the induction of a massive NO/GnRH release in 15-day ovariectomized rat treated with estradiol benzoate strongly suggested that estradiol is participating in the stimulation of NO release activity between diestrus II and PRO: The present study is the first demonstrating that ME can spontaneously release NO and that NO's rhythm of secretion varies markedly across the estrous cycle. This pulsatile/cyclic ME NO release may constitute the synchronizing link to anatomically scattered GnRH neurons." @default.
