Abstract

 Background: OREXIN is a hypothalamic orexigenic neuropeptide, which third cerebral injection of it mainly exerts inhibitory effects on reproductive functions. It increases significantly the Aromatase (Cyp19) gene expression in the hypothalamus of male rats. Aromatase is an enzyme which converts androgens to estradiol in the hypothalamus of rats. Prenatal or neonatal exposure of females to testosterone masculinizes the pattern of CYP19 mRNA levels in adulthood. In the present study the effects of central injections of OREXIN-A on hypothalamic CYP19 gene expression of adult FEMALE RATS were investigated, while they had been androgenized on third day of postnatal life.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, twenty female Wistar rats received subcutaneous injections of testosterone propionate (50 mg/100 ml) on their third day of postnatal life. Adult androgenized rats weighing 180-220 g, received either 3 ml saline or one of 2, 4 or 8 mg/3 ml concentration of OREXIN via third cerebral ventricle. Five non-androgenized rats, as control group, received intra cerebral ventricle (ICV) injection of 3 ml saline. The hypothalamuses were dissected out and mean CYP19 mRNA levels were determined by semi-quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Data were analyzed by unpaired t test and one-way ANOVA using SPSS software, version 16.Results: Mean relative CYP19 mRNA level was significantly increased in the hypothalamus of androgenized compared to non-androgenized FEMALE RATS. Central injections of 2, 4 or 8 mg/3 ml OREXIN decreased significantly the hypothalamic CYP19 mRNA level of androgenized rats compared to androgenized-control groups.Conclusion: The results suggested that the OREXIN may exert inhibitory effects on the gene expression of CYP19 in the hypothalamus of neonatal androgenized FEMALE RATS in adulthood.
