Final report

 
Results in Hungarian
A [3H]D-aszpartát szelektív felvételén és retrográd transzportján alapuló autoradiográfiás eljárással feltérképeztük a mediális preoptikus areába projiciáló glutamáterg idegsejtek lokalizációját. Leírtuk, hogy vezikuláris glutamát transzporter immunreaktív idegvégződések, melyeket specifikus glutamáterg elemeknek lehet tekinteni, aszimmetrikus szinapszissal kapcsolódnak gonadotrop hormon-releasing hormon immunpozitív neuronokhoz a mediális preoptikus areában, neuropeptid Y, növekedési hormon-releasing hormon és pro-opiomelanocortin tartalmú idegsejtekhez a n. arcuatusban, szomatosztatinerg neuronokhoz a n. periventricularis anteriorban, valamint GABAerg, vazoaktív intesztinális polipeptidet és arginin-vazopresszint tartalmazó idegsejtekhez a n. suprachiasmaticusban. Kimutattuk, hogy nem-NMDA-receptor antagonista a n. paraventricularis hypothalamiba adva blokkolta a szopási inger valamint a formalin-stressz által kiváltott hypophysis prolaktin felszabadulást.
Results in English
By means of the transmitter specific [3H]D-aspartate retrograde tracing technique we detected the location of glutamatergic neurons projecting to the medial preoptic area. We demonstrated synaptic contacts of the asymmetric type between vesicular glutamate transporter type 2 (selective marker of glutamatergic elements) nerve terminals and various neurons such as gonadotrop hormone-releasing hormone immunoreactive neurons in the medial preoptic area, neuropeptide Y, growth hormone-releasing hormone and pro-opiomelanocortin containing neurons in the arcuate nucleus, somatostatinerg nerve cells in the anterior periventricular nucleus and GABA, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and arginine-vasopressin immunoreactive neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. We observed that non-NMDA receptor antagonist injected into the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus blocked the suckling stimulus-induced rise in plasma prolactin and the prolactin response to formalin stress.
