The effect of intravenous injection of purified human tissue thromboplastin in rats.

As a background for the development and testing of phospholipase C in the therapy of post-traumatic and post-surgical intravascular coagulation, highly purified tissue thromboplastin was injected i.v. into rats. The levels of factor V, VII, VIII and blood platelets and the activity of the intrinsic coagulation pathway in general (the cephalin test) were followed. Histological examination of pulmonary, kidney and liver tissue was carried. The dose-response was highly dependent on the injection rate. A marked activation of factor VII and a fall in the activities of factors V and VIII as well as in thrombocyte counts were observed. Very few or no thrombi were seen beyond the pulmonary circulation. The main changes (fibrin-containing thrombi and platelet aggregates) were observed in the lungs during the first 15 min after injection. Atter 15 min virtually no thrombi or platelet aggregates could be detected. The effect of tissue thromboplastin was counteracted by large doses of antithrombin III.

Intravenous injections of nicotine induce very rapid and discrete reductions of hypothalamic catecholamine levels associated with increases of ACTH, vasopressin and prolactin secretion.

The present findings show that nicotine given i.v. can within minutes induce increases of ACTH, vasopressin and prolactin secretion in the male rat, giving further evidence for the existence of nicotine-like cholinergic receptors involved in the regulation of these hormones. These changes were associated with rapid reductions of NA levels in the subependymal layer of the median eminence, in the nuc, dorsomedialis hypothalami and in the anterior and posterior periventricular hypothalamic area as revealed by quantitative microfluorimetrical measurements of CA fluorescence. Intraindividual correlations indicate the involvement of an inhibitory noradrenergic mechanism in the subependymal layer of the median eminence in the regulation of ACTH secretion, the involvement of noradrenergic mechanisms in the posterior periventricular area in the regulation of prolactin secretion and the involvement of dopaminergic mechanisms in the medial palisade zone of the median eminence in the regulation of prolactin secretion. A rapid rise of prolactin secretion seems to be associated mainly with a reduction of NA levels in the posterior periventricular area indicating the existence of a possible facilitatory noradrenergic mechanism in this region regulating prolactin secretion.
