1 Differential involvement of protein kinase C in basal versus acetylcholine-regulated prolactin secretion in rat anterior pituitary cells during aging. Acetylcholine prolactin Rattus norvegicus
2 The objectives of this study were to determine if changes in the pituitary PRL responsiveness to acetylcholine (ACh; a paracrine factor in the AP), as compared with that to other PRL stimulators or inhibitors, contribute to the known age-related increase in PRL secretion, and if protein kinase C (PKC) is involved. Acetylcholine prolactin Rattus norvegicus

Acetylcholine prolactin Rattus norvegicus
4 Aging also reduced the responsiveness of cells to ACh and DA in suppressing basal PRL secretion, and attenuated ACh inhibition of TRH-induced PRL secretion. Acetylcholine prolactin Rattus norvegicus
5 Aging also reduced the responsiveness of cells to ACh and DA in suppressing basal PRL secretion, and attenuated ACh inhibition of TRH-induced PRL secretion. Acetylcholine prolactin Rattus norvegicus
6 Furthermore, ACh suppressed TRH-induced PRL secretion mainly via the PMA-sensitive PKC in the old AP cells, but via additional mechanisms in young AP cells. Acetylcholine prolactin Rattus norvegicus
7 Taken together, these results suggest differential roles of PMA-sensitive PKC in regulating basal and ACh-regulated PRL responses in old versus young AP cells. Acetylcholine prolactin Rattus norvegicus
