Abstract
Tritiated arginine-vasopressin (AVP), desglycinamide-vasopressin (DGAVP), chicken gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) or carbetocin were injected intracarotidally into rats exposed to a restraint stress for 60 min. The peptide accumulations were determined in 9-13 brain regions and anterior pituitary. In separate experiments the cerebral blood flow was measured. The blood supply to the brain was decreased in stressed animals as indicated by: 1. significant decrease (17-50%) of cerebral blood flow; 2. diminished accumulation of tritiated AVP in the regions lacking a blood-brain barrier (BBB). Consequently, the values of peptide accumulation were corrected for the changed blood supply. Compared with control animals, restraint stress induced a higher accumulation of AVP (+41%), DGAVP (+60%), carbetocin (+81%) and GnRH (+104%).Entities:
