[Ca2+-dependent secretion of serotonin by the rat hypothalamus during ontogenesis].
A study was made of functional maturity of the terminal part of serotoninergic system of rat hypothalamus in perinatal period: the maturity was estimated by the ability to release serotonin. The release of specifically taken up serotonin (3H-5-OT) by the tissue of hypothalamus of 16-20-day-old rat fetuses, 8-9-day males and adult males was studied in the perfusion system. Spontaneous release of the labelled amine was recorded in the earliest studied period--on the 16th day of the prenatal period, but the response to K+ depolarization was absent at this time. For the first time the increase of the rate of 3H-5-OT release in response to depolarization was noted on the 17th day of development. In the absence of Ca2+ depolarizing stimulus produced no increase in the release of the labelled product. Similar results were obtained with perfusion of fetal hypothalamus on the 18t hand 20th days of development. In neonatal animals the release of 5-OT in response to depolarization was equal to that in adults. The data obtained point to a possible functioning of serotoninergic elements of hypothalamus in the perinatal period in rats.
