Abstract

Disinhibition of neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) by microinjection of the GABA(A) receptor antagonist bicuculline methiodide (BMI) elicits a range of autonomic and endocrine changes resembling those seen in experimental paradigms for emotional stress. Stress in rats is also known to provoke increases in body temperature resulting in part from sympathetically mediated activation of brown fat. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of microinjection of BMI into the DMH on core body temperature and temperature of brown fat in rats. In anesthetized preparations, microinjection of BMI 10 pmol/50 nl into the DMH and adjoining posterior hypothalamus elicited marked and rapid increases in temperature in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) and lesser delayed elevations in rectal temperature. Similar injections into the paraventricular nucleus or ventromedial hypothalamus had no effect on either parameter. Peak increases in IBAT were significantly correlated with both peak increases in core temperature and maximal increases in heart rate that accompanied these changes, and all of these effects were abolished by systemic treatment with propranolol 1 mg/kg. In conscious rats instrumented for telemetry, microinjection of BMI 10 pmol/100 nl into the DMH evoked marked increases in core temperature as well as heart rate, locomotor activity, and plasma ACTH. The increase in core temperature occurred with a delayed time course similar to that seen in anesthetized preparations. These results indicate that activation of neurons in the DMH provokes increases in body temperature resulting in large part from sympathoadrenally-mediated activation of brown fat.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
