Abstract

Effects of biogenic amines, testosterone and melatonin both on the developing electrical activity of hypo- thalamic arcuate nucleus (NA) and morphology of testis and NA neurocytes during maturation in birds (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were tested. Slow д- frequency was shown to prevail at quail NA electrical activity. NA spectral power gradually enlarges during maturation. The data confirm the evidence that cate- cholamines induce acceleration of sexual maturation in birds mainly via brain alpha-adrenoreceptors, while dopamine- and serotoninergic brain systems cause deceleration of maturation. Morning or evening treat- 4 № ,74 .Т ,1002 ,.нруж .лоізіФ 9848-1020 NSSI57 ments with melatonin (5mkg/100g bw) and evening ones (50mkg/100g bw) were revealed to result in activation of hypothalamic-testicular axis, and high- dose morning melatonin injections don’t have any influence. Significant correlation was registered bet- ween the spectral power of NA neurocytes and profile area of their cellular nuclei. Total EA was demon- strated to vary at д1- and, lesser, д2-, и-, and б-ranges of spectrum, and was insignificant at в-range.
