Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) injected into the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) of anesthetized rats produces a large, prolonged stimulation of ventilatory output (C. L. Cream, A. Li, and E. E. Nattie. J. Appl. Physiol. 83: 792-799, 1997). Here we inject or dialyze TRH into the RTN of conscious rats. In 6 of 17 injections (200 nl, 3.1 +/- 1.7 mM), ventilation ((V) over dot E) increased 31% by 10 min, with recovery by 60 min. With dialysis, each animal of one group (n = 5) received, in random order, 10 mM TRH, 10 mM TRHOH (a metabolite of TRH), and artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF); each animal of a second group (n = 5) received aCSF and 1 mM TRH. TRHOH and aCSF had no sustained effects. TRH (1 mM) increased (V) over dot E (32%, P < 0.02 by 10 min, with recovery by 60 min), Oz consumption ((V) over dot o(2); 19%, P < 0.03), and body (rectal) temperature (T-re; 0.5 degrees C, (P < 0.09). TRH (10 mM) increased (V) over dot E (78% P < 0.01, by 10 min, with no recovery at 60 min), (V) over dot O-2 (48%, P < 0.01), and T-re (1.0 degrees C, P < 0.01). TRH also induced arousal. The tissue volume affected in dialysis, estimated by spread of dialyzed fluorescein (332.3 mol wt, mol wt of TRH = 362.4), was 1,580 +/- 256 nl for 10 mM (n = 5) and 590 +/- 128 nl for 1 mM (n = 5). We conclude that 1) the RTN is involved in the integration of (V) over dot E, (V) over dot O-2, T-re, and arousal and 2) TRH may establish the responsiveness of RTN neurons.
