Abstract
In 21 adult male rhesus monkeys, thyroid secretion was studied by the turnover of 131I from thyroid into blood, before and after stimulation of various hypothalamic regions through chronically implanted electrodes. Stimulation of the medial hypothalamus from median eminence up to the supraoptic region increased thyroid secretion. Stimulation of the preoptic area, on the other hand, produced decreased thyroid secretion, demonstrating an inhibitory hypothalamic mechanism of TSH secretion. Occasional stimulation of the posterior mamillary region and median eminence also resulted in decreased thyroid secretion. The significance of these results has been discussed.
