Abstract:
Pregnenolone, medroxyprogesterone (MPA) and melengestrol (MLA) caused a significant decrease of brain stem serotonin (5-HT) in the adult female rat, without modifying the content of 5-hydroxy indoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). Only MPA and MLA increased the liver tryptophan pyrrolase (LTP) activity. Chlormadinone, in spite of its similar chemical structure, had no effect. Both total and free plasma tryptophan were not modified, except the latter which decreased when MPA was injected. The steroids herein studied had no effect on brain stem tryptophan and monoamino oxidase (MAO) system activity. The effect of MPA on 5-HT was antagonized in fasting, adrenalectomized and normal rats injected with ACTH. These results suggest that ACTH would participate in the effect of MPA on brain stem 5-HT. © 1978 The Italian Pharmacological Society.
