Inhibitory effects of interleukin-1 on growth hormone secretion in conscious male rats.

Abstract: Although various pathophysiological effects of interleukin (IL) on the CRF-ACTH-adrenal axis and gonadotropin secretion have been studied extensively, the effects of IL on GH secretion still remain to be elucidated. We investigated the possible effects of IL on GH secretion in six groups of conscious rats. In four groups, IL was administered by continuous iv infusion and in the other two, by intracerebroventricular injection. Saline-treated rats served as controls for these groups. Sequential blood sampling wa… Show more

“…or i.c.v. administration of IL-1 and to a lesser extent IL-1 , inhibited GH secretion (Wada et al 1995). These discrepancies may be due to the dosage, since other authors have described a biphasic effect of central IL-1 administration on GH secretion, with a stimulatory effect at low doses and an inhibitory effect at higher doses of IL-1 (Payne et al 1992).…”

“…Studies in children with other chronic diseases characterized by elevated circulating levels of inflammatory mediators such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis also show reduced fitness and IGF-I (28, 29); and inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-␣ can directly inhibit bioactivity of the GH→IGF-I axis (9,30,31). Circulating IL-6 was substantially elevated in the subjects with CF.…”

“…The data do however show clearly that the GH responses to exogenous corticosterone and annexin 1 Ac2 ± 26 are readily inhibited by central but not peripheral administration of IL-1b. There is already substantial published evidence that IL-1b acts within the hypothalamus to suppress GH release (Wada et al, 1995) via mechanisms which involve increased somatostatin release (Honegger et al, 1991) and possibly also decreased secretion of GHRH (McCann et al, 1998). Our ®nding that central but not peripheral injection of IL-1b inhibits the rise in serum GH provoked by corticosterone or annexin 1 Ac2 ± 26 accords with this concept although, in contrast to other studies (Peisen et al, 1995;Wada et al, 1995), we found no e ects of the cytokine on the basal release of GH.…”

It has been suggested that the positive e ects of IL-1b on the somatostatin secretion are secondary to the increase in CRH secretion the cytokine provokes (Peisen et al, 1995).…”
