Abstract
Intracerebral injection of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) at a dose of 10 μg produced a significant increase in
glutamate levels of the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and brain stem in pubertal rat brain and only cerebral cortex
of post-pubertal rat brain. However, intracerebral FSH brought about a significant increase in gamma amino
butyric acid (GABA) levels of brain stem of pubertal rat brain and cerebral cortex GABA levels of post-pubertal
rat brain. The results are discussed in relation to the probable interaction between these neuroactive amino acids
and FSH in the rat brain.
