Abstract
Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of cysteamine to rats produced a marked depletion of somatostatin-14-like immunoreactivity (LI) in all rat brain regions examined. The somatostatin-28 (SS28)-LI and SS28(1-12)-LI were generally not altered by the cysteamine treatment. Following subcutaneous injection of the drug similar depletions of hypothalamic SS14-LI was observed with no change in SS28-LI nor SS28(1-12)-LI. In vitro cysteamine significantly increased the basal release of SS14-LI and markedly potentiated the evoked release of SS14-LI from hypothalamic slices. At 10 mM cysteamine, enhanced release of SS14-LI from hypothalamic slices was still observed despite a marked depletion of tissue content of SS14-LI.Entities:
