    Notes: Summary In anaesthetized rabbits guide cannulae were stereotaxically inserted into the anterior hypothalamic area and into the posterior hypothalamic nucleus. Additionally, catheters were inserted into the carotid artery and the jugular vein. Some days after the operation push-pull cannulae were inserted through the guide cannulae into the hypothalamic regions of the conscious, freely moving animal. The areas were superfused with artificial CSF and the release of the endogenous catecholamines dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline was determined in the superfusates. In the two hypothalamic regions the resting release of the catecholamines rhythmically varied with time at approximately 70 min cycles. A rise in blood pressure induced by the intravenous injection of noradrenaline or tramazoline enhanced the rates of release of the catecholamines in the anterior hypothalamic area. A fall of blood pressure elicited by the intravenous injection of nitroprusside or chlorisondamine decreased the release of the catecholamines in this hypothalamic area. The changes in blood pressure coincided with the changes in the rates of release of the catecholamines in the anterior hypothalamic area. These and previous results concerning changes in the release of endogenous catecholamines in the posterior hypothalamic nucleus also indicate that in the conscious, freely moving rabbit changes in blood pressure lead to counteracting alterations in the release of catecholamines in the two hypothalamic regions.

    Notes: Summary The posterior hypothalamus of anaesthetized cats was superfused with a push-pull cannula and the release of the endogenous catecholamines noradrenaline, adrenaline and dopamine was determined in the superfusate. The rate of release of the three catecholamines followed an ultradian rhythm, the time interval between two adjacent phases of high rate of release being about 70 min. Pretreatment of the animals with reserpine decreased the levels of catecholamines in the hypothalamus and rest of the brain and reduced their rate of release into the superfusate. Hypothalamic superfusion with superfusing fluid of high concentration of potassium and low concentration of sodium enhanced the rate of release of noradrenaline and adrenaline; this effect was abolished when the hypothalamus was superfused with calcium-free solution. Electrical stimulation of the locus coeruleus ipsilateral to the superfused hypothalamus increased the release of noradrenaline and adrenaline, stimulation of the contralateral locus coeruleus enhanced the release of noradrenaline, adrenaline and dopamine. In both cases, the rate of release of adrenaline was enhanced to a lesser extent than the rate of release of noradrenaline. The release of noradrenaline and adrenaline was increased to a higher extent on stimulation of the ipsilateral locus coeruleus than on stimulation of the contralateral one.

    Notes: Summary The posterior hypothalamus of anaesthetized cats was superfused through a push-pull cannula with histamine agonists and antagonists and the release of endogenous catecholamines was determined in the superfusate. Hypothalamic superfusion with histamine, 2-methylhistamine (H1-agonist), dimaprit (H2-agonist) or metiamide (H2-antagonist) enhanced the release of the catecholamines dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. The releasing effects of these substances depended on the presence of calcium ions. Superfusion with 2-pyridylethylamine (H1-agonist) was virtually ineffective, while superfusion with 2-thiazolethylamine (H1-agonist) enhanced the rate of release of noradrenaline and adrenaline without influencing the release of dopamine. Superfusion with mepyramine (H1-antagonist) inhibited the release of noradrenaline and adrenaline without affecting the release of dopamine. Hypothalamic superfusion with a concentration of procaine which was equi-anaesthetic to that of mepyramine was ineffective. Ranitidine (H2-antagonist) did not alter the rates of release of the catecholamines. The releasing effect of histamine was inhibited on hypothalamic superfusion with mepyramine and ranitidine. Ranitidine also inhibited the releasing effects of dimaprit and 2-methylhistamine thus indicating that the releasing action of the latter compound was mainly due to stimulation of H2-receptors. These data suggest that blockade of H1-receptors of the posterior hypothalamus reduces the release of noradrenaline and adrenaline, while stimulation of H1-receptors seems to increase the rates of release of these two catecholamines. Stimulation of H2-receptors enhances the release of all three catecholamines. Thus, dopaminergic neurones of the hypothalamus seem to possess H2-receptors, while noradrenergic and adrenergic neurones possess H1- and H2-receptors.
