Neurotensin is a hypothalamic peptide which inhibits secretion of TSH in the rat in vivo. We have demonstrated a calcium-dependent release of neurotensin from incubated rat hypothalamus in response to depolarizing stimuli, as well as a dose-dependent stimulatory effect of tri-iodothyronine (T3) on neurotensin secretion. We suggest that part of the neuroendocrine control of TSH secretion involves the interaction of T3, neurotensin and TSH; the presence of neurotensin in extracts of anterior pituitary gland is further evidence for its hypophysiotrophic role.

SUMMARY

The metabolic clearance of rat prolactin, assessed by the continuous infusion to equilibrium method, increased from 0·77 to 2·15 ml/min in lactating and from 0·65 to 1·75 ml/min in non-lactating rats as the infusion rate was increased from 100 to 472 ng/min. The clearance rate of rat prolactin did not increase when large doses of ovine prolactin were infused simutaneously with rat prolactin. The clearance rates computed from equilibrium levels of immunoreactive 131I-labelled rat prolactin in plasma were highly correlated with, but were considerably greater than, those computed from unlabelled rat prolactin which was infused simultaneously. In lactating and non-lactating rats, the clearance of each prolactin tested (RP-1, B-1, Nicoll's secreted and 131I-labelled) increased and had stabilized within the 30–35 min of infusion of each new higher dose of the hormone. The ability of the rat to clear quickly greater amounts of prolactin from the circulation as the infusion rate increases implies that plasma prolactin concentrations do not necessarily mirror the rate of prolactin secretion from the pituitary.
