Abstract
Summary
The effect of synthetic luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH) on the in vitro incorporation of labeled amino acid into proteins of different hypothalamic areas, cerebral cortex and anterior pituitary gland was studied.
LH-RH specifically decreased the incorporation of labeled amino acids into proteins of the anterior hypothalamus whereas the anterior pituitary gland showed enhanced protein synthesis.
No modifications were found in the middle and posterior hypothalamus and in the cerebral cortex.
We are grateful to Dr. Andrew V. Schally from the Endocrine and Polypeptide Laboratories, Veterans Administration Hospital, New Orleans, LA for the generous gifts of the synthetic LH-RH.
