The precise orchestration of hormonal regulation at all levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-
gonadal axis is essential for normal reproductive function and fertility. The pulsatile secretion …

Cranial placodes are specialized regions of the ectoderm, which give rise to various sensory
ganglia and contribute to the pituitary gland and sensory organs of the vertebrate head …

Precise control of transcriptional programmes underlying metazoan development is
modulated by enzymatically active co-regulatory complexes, coupled with epigenetic …

The pituitary gonadotropin hormones, FSH and LH, are essential for fertility. Containing an
identical α-subunit (CGA), they are comprised of unique β-subunits, FSHβ and LHβ …

Endocrine pituitary cells are neuronlike; they express numerous voltage-gated sodium,
calcium, potassium, and chloride channels and fire action potentials spontaneously …

Oxidative stress has been linked with sleep deprivation (SD)-induced pathological
conditions and reproductive dysfunction. On the other hand, glutamine has been established …

Cranial placodes (which include the adenohypophyseal, olfactory, lens, otic, lateral line,
profundal/trigeminal, and epibranchial placodes) give rise to many sense organs and …

The environment which living organisms inhabit is not constant and many factors, such as
light, temperature, and food availability, display cyclic and predictable variations. To adapt to …

The precise interplay of hormonal influences that governs gonadotropin hormone production
by the pituitary includes endocrine, paracrine and autocrine actions of hypothalamic …

Oxytocin (OXT) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide composed of nine amino acids. The
functions of OXT cover a variety of social and nonsocial activity/behaviors. Therapeutic …
