OBJECTIVES: Ghrelin, an endogenous growth hormone secretagogue, is a known accelerator of feeding behavior and suppresses pulsatile secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) in ovariectomized rats. However, the mechanisms underlying this action remain unclear. We examined the effects of naloxone (NAL), a specific opioid antagonist, on the suppression of pulsatile LH secretion by ghrelin to determine whether beta-endorphin (beta-END) is involved in this suppressive effect.
METHODS: Ghrelin was administered intracerebroventricularly, and NAL was injected intravenously in ovariectomized rats; then, serum LH concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay in blood samples drawn every 6 min for 2 h to analyze pulsatile secretion.
RESULTS: Administration of ghrelin significantly reduced mean LH concentration and pulse frequency. Coadministration of NAL with ghrelin significantly restored mean LH concentration and pulse frequency.
CONCLUSION: Suppressive effect of intracerebroventricular injection of ghrelin on pulsatile LH secretion was mediated by beta-END, suggesting that hypothalamic ghrelin suppressed pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion via beta-END in female rats.
