Abstract excerpt
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is released from the median eminence upon neural stimulation such as cold or suckling exposure. Concomitant with the cold- or suckling-induced release of TRH is a rapid and transient increase in the expression of proTRH mRNA in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus. We employed two strategies to determine whether TRH neurons responding to cold exposure are...
