Hyperthermia after intrahypothalamic injections of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) in the pigeon.
Thermoregulatory responses to intrahypothalamic injections of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) were recorded from unanesthetized pigeons exposed to 6 degrees C, 20 degrees C and 32 degrees C. Our results suggest that TRH is a non-specific excitatory neuromodulator or neurotransmitter for heat production in the pigeon.
