SUMMARY Treatment of intact adult male rats with 10 mg. perphenazine (Trilafon)/kg. resulted in a decrease in the prolactin content of the pituitary within 1 hr. This decrease was probably due to suppression of the hypothalamic prolactin-inhibiting factor (PIF). Subsequent intracarotid infusion of neutralized acid extracts of rat hypothalamus restored the pituitary prolactin content. This effect was dose-dependent within a range of ½-2 hypothalami. Infusion of extracts of cerebral cortex failed to increase pituitary prolactin. The response to the hypothalamic extracts is considered to be specific for PIF and is proposed as an assay method for PIF.

ABSTRACT In adult male rats, the oxygen consumption of the amygdala is increased following castration and decreased following hypophysectomy. When both operations are performed in the same animal, the metabolic activity of the amygdala is as low as that found following hypophysectomy only. The stimulating effect of castration on amygdalar oxygen consumption can be reversed by administering in vivo, to castrated animals, adequate amounts of testosterone, though testosterone is completely ineffective if added in vitro to the incubation media containing amygdalar tissue taken from castrated animals. In vivo treatment of castrated hypophysectomized animals with LH and FSH increases the metabolic activity of the amygdala; moreover, the in vitro addition of FSH or of LH to amygdalar slices taken from normal animals is capable of increasing the oxygen consumption of this structure to levels similar to those found in the amygdala of castrated animals. None of the experimental manipulations used proved capable of modifying the oxygen consumption of the hippocampus or of the cerebral cortex.
