Altered thyroid statuses are associated with autonomic disorders. Medullary thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and substance P (SP) regulate autonomic nervous activity. The influences of thyroid statuses on TRH and SP gene expressions in the caudal raphe nuclei and the parapyramidal regions were studied using quantitative in situ hybridization histochemistry. In male rats thyroidectomized (Tx) for 30 days, the serum T4levels decreased by 64% and the medullary pro-TRH mRNA signals (silver grains per neuron) significantly increased by 32–45%. These changes were prevented by daily i.p. T4(2 μg/100 g) injection in Tx rats. In sham operated/T4(20 μg/100 g, daily) injected rats, T4levels significantly increased by 88% and the silver grains decreased by 38–40%. Medullary SP mRNA signals were not significantly changed by altering thyroid status. These results support the concept that thyroid hormone regulates medullary TRH gene expression by negative feedback.
