The effect of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) was studied on local CBF (LCBF) in normal conscious rats. LCBF was measured by the autoradiographic [14C]iodoantipyrine method 5 min after TRH (5 mg/kg, i.v.) administration. TRH significantly increased LCBF in 22 of 33 brain regions. This increase of LCBF exceeded 100% of the control values in the cerebral cortices, whereas there was no significant increase in white matter or in some gray matter structures. The increase of CBF following TRH administration was abolished by pretreatment with indomethacin (5 mg/kg, i.v.). The mechanisms underlying the increase of CBF following TRH administration are discussed in relation to prostaglandin metabolism.

To assess the regional changes in cerebral blood flow, 10 healthy volunteers were given 400 μg thyrotropin-releasing hormone iv in a double-blind, randomized, cross-over study. Regional cerebral blood flow was determined simultaneously in two slices of the brain, using a single photon emission computerized tomograph and inhalation of 133Xe. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone caused a significant mean increase of 3.7% (range −8.8–22.7) in blood flow in a region consistent with the left thalamus compared to placebo (3.2% decrease). In 25 other regions no significant change was detected. The thalamic region has previously been shown to be a region especially affected by thyrotropin-releasing hormone in animal studies. The thyrotropin-releasing hormone injection was followed by a minor rise in systemic blood pressure, but not a rise that could affect the cerebral blood flow. The effect of thyrotropin-releasing hormone on the regional cerebral blood flow in the thalamic region was much lower compared to changes found in sedated animals given a hundredfold higher dose of thyrotropin-releasing hormone.
