The effects of castration and testosterone (T) replacement on levels of substance P (SP) and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) were assessed in discrete areas of the male hamster brain. The animals were either castrated, castrated and given a chronically low or high dose of T by Silastic implant, or sham-operated. Brain tissues and trunk blood were collected 3 weeks after surgery. Plasma T levels were maintained within the normal range by the implants but at significantly lower or higher levels than the mean for sham-operated males. Levels of SP and LHRH were quantified in the olfactory bulbs, rostral basal forebrain, anterior hypothalamic and preoptic area, medial basal hypothalamic area, medial basal hypothalamic area and median eminence, and brain stem. In general, castration and T replacement effected opposite changes in levels of SP and LHRH. In the medial basal hypothalamic area and median eminence SP levels were found to be inversely related to the chronic T levels, whereas the LHRH levels were directly correlated. In the anterior hypothalamic and preoptic area, castration reduced levels of SP. Conversely, castration elevated levels of LHRH in this area. This inverse dynamic relationship between changing peptide levels was also observed in the rostral basal forebrain but not in the olfactory bulbs. In most of these forebrain regions, the dose-response curves for the experimental groups could not incorporate the peptide levels in the sham-operated control group. SP levels in the brain stem showed a monotonic inverse relationship to circulating T levels which did include the control group values.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Methionine-enkephalin (met-enk) levels were measured at 09.30-10.30, 16.30-17.30 and 23.30-00.30 h in the anterior hypothalamus-preoptic area (AHPOA), medial basal hypothalamus (MBH), anterior, intermediate and posterior lobe of the pituitary gland of male rats. Met-enk levels in the AHPOA and MBH fluctuated significantly through a 24-hour period; from low levels at 09.30-10.30 h, met-enk in the AHPOA and MBH rose slowly in the afternoon to reach peak concentrations at 23.30-00.30 h. Pinealectomy appears to depress or shift the normally occurring increments in met-enk levels at 23.30-00.30 h in the AHPOA only. Serum testosterone (T) levels displayed an inverse relationship with the met-enk rhythm; high concentrations during the day were associated with low met-enk levels and as T levels decreased to a nadir at 23.30-00.30 h, the met-enk in the MBH and AHPOA attained peak concentrations. Daily changes in serum T levels were not affected by pinealectomy.
