The effects of treatment with l‐thyroxine (subcu‐taneously 0.3 μg/g body weight daily from birth, i.e., day 1) and 2.5S nerve growth factor (NGF; intraventricularly 2 μg on 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 postnatal days), separately and together, were studied on the biochemical development of different cell types in the basal forebrain of 10‐day‐old rats. The development of cholinergic, γ‐aminobutyric acid‐ergic (GABAergic), and glutamatergic neurons was monitored respectively in terms of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), and glutaminase activities, whereas glutamine synthetase (GS) and 2′,3′‐cyclic nu‐cleotide‐3′‐phosphohydrolase (CNPase) activities were used to judge the maturation of astroglial and oligodendroglial cells. Treatment with either thyroid hormone or NGF from birth significantly increased the expression of ChAT activity in the basal forebrain of neonatal rats. When both agents were administered to the same animal, in agreement with our earlier in vitro findings, the stimulation in ChAT activity was much greater than the sum of the individual effects. In hypothyroid rats, significant effects of NGF at the low doses used were not detectable, although the increase of ChAT activity induced by thyroxine was potentiated by NGF in these animals. Under the present experimental conditions neither thyroxine nor NGF treatment had an appreciable effect on the activities of glutaminase, GS, and lactate dehydrogenase. However, the administration of thyroxine markedly increased CNPase activity in normal rats, whereas in hypothyroid rats the effect on both CNPase and GAD was also significant. Similar elevations in CNPase and GAD activities were not observed after NGF treatment, suggesting that the effect of NGF was specific to the cholinergic cells. The observations provide further support for our proposal that subcortical cholinergic neurons are subject to regulation by an interaction between thyroid hormone and local humoural factors such as NGF.
