- W2021004710 abstract "We have demonstrated that estrogen induces synaptic reorganization in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus of female rats during the ovarian cycle and proposed that estrogen-induced synaptic retraction plays a role in the disinhibition of gonadotropin secretion that occurs during the afternoon of proestrus. This so-called positive feedback of gonadotropins is developmentally determined. It is present in female rats and absent in males. To confirm the role of the estrogen-induced synaptic retraction in positive feedback, we tested whether administration of estrogen to male rats also fails to induce synaptic remodeling of the arcuate nucleus. Male and female rats were gonadectomized and studied as follows. One month following gonadectomy, animals received either a single injection of estradiol (100 µg/animal in sesame oil; 12 males and 12 females) or vehicle (6 males and 6 females). Twenty-four hours following injections, all animals in the vehicle-injected group and 6 animals of each sex in the treatment groups were sacrificed, while the rest of the animals were killed 48 h following the hormone injections (6 per group). As expected, quantitative electron microscopic analysis of the female arcuate nuclei revealed that compared to oil-injected controls, estradiol induced drastic decreases in the overall synapse counts by 24 h (121 ± 10 vs. 74 ± 5 synapses/1,000 µm membrane; p < 0.05). Synaptic counts had recovered to control levels by 48 h. On the contrary, in males, estradiol treatment did not cause changes in the total synapse counts at either time. As a further control, the lack of an estrogen-induced gonadotropin surge in long-term castrate males was also confirmed. Our study confirmed that in males estradiol does not alter the net synaptology of the arcuate nucleus or cause gonadotropin positive feedback. This is in clear contradistinction to females which show both synaptic plasticity and gonadotropin-positive feedback upon receiving exogenous or endogenous estrogen. The lack of estrogen-induced synaptic plasticity may be an underlying mechanism in the abolishment of positive gonadotropin, feedback in developing males and the development of constant estrus in aging female rats." @default.
