Dopamine (DA) is known as a primary regulator of prolactin secretion (PRL) and angiotensin II (Ang II) has been recognized as one brain inhibitory factor of this secretion. In this work, estrogen-primed or unprimed ovariectomized rats were submitted to the microinjection of saline or Ang II after previous microinjection of saline or of DA antagonist (haloperidol, sulpiride or SCH) both in the medial preoptic area (MPOA). Our study of these interactions has shown that 1) estrogen-induced PRL secretion is mediated by Ang II and DA actions in the MPOA, i.e. very high plasma PRL would be prevented by inhibitory action of Ang II, while very low levels would be prevented in part by stimulatory action of DA through D(2) receptors, 2) the inhibitory action of Ang II depends on estrogen and is mediated in part by inhibitory action of DA through D(1) receptors and in other part by inhibition of stimulatory action of DA through D(2) receptors.

The aim of this work was to study the participation of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors on the effect of microinjection of angiotensin II (A II) into the medial preoptic area (MPOA) on the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and prolactin (PRL) in estrogen-primed ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Microinjection of A II into the MPOA increased plasma LH. This effect was reduced by previous microinjection of an alpha- (phentolamine), but not a beta- (propranolol) adrenergic blocker into the MPOA. Plasma PRL decreased after microinjection of A II into the MPOA, but this effect was unchanged by phentolamine or propranolol. There was no change in plasma FSH in any condition. These results indicate that A II in the MPOA stimulates LH secretion and inhibits PRL secretion in estrogen-primed OVX rats. The effect on secretion of LH, but not of PRL, is mediated by alpha-adrenergic receptors in the MPOA.

The Relationship

Research investigating the neural substrates underpinning parental behaviour has recently gained momentum. Particularly, the hypothalamic medial preoptic area (MPOA) has been identified as a crucial region for parenting. The current study conducted a scientometric analysis of publications from 1 January 1972 to 19 January 2021 using CiteSpace software to determine trends in the scientific literature exploring the relationship between MPOA and parental behaviour. In total, 677 scientific papers were analysed, producing a network of 1509 nodes and 5498 links. Four major clusters were identified: “C-Fos Expression”, “Lactating Rat”, “Medial Preoptic Area Interaction” and “Parental Behavior”. Their content suggests an initial trend in which the properties of the MPOA in response to parental behavior were studied, followed by a growing attention towards the presence of a brain network, including the reward circuits, regulating such behavior. Furthermore, while attention was initially directed uniquely to maternal behavior, it has recently been extended to the understanding of paternal behaviors as well. Finally, although the majority of the studies were conducted on rodents, recent publications broaden the implications of previous documents to human parental behavior, giving insight into the mechanisms underlying postpartum depression. Potential directions in future works were also discussed.
