Until recently, any neuropeptide that directly inhibits gonadotropin secretion had not been
identified. We recently identified a novel hypothalamic dodecapeptide that directly inhibits …

Neuropeptide control of gonadotropin secretion at the level of the anterior pituitary gland is
primarily through the stimulatory action of the hypothalamic decapeptide, gonadotropin …

The decapeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the primary factor responsible
for the hypothalamic control of gonadotropin secretion. Gonadal sex steroids and inhibin …

The neuropeptide control of gonadotropin secretion is primarily through the stimulatory
action of the hypothalamic decapeptide, GnRH. We recently identified a novel hypothalamic …

Many hormones that are classified as neuropeptides are synthesized in vertebrate gonads
in addition to the brain. Receptors for these hormones are also expressed in gonadal tissue; …

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) regulates secretion of both of the gonadotropins,
luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone. Thus, it is a key hormone for …

Abstract Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), a neuropeptide that inhibits gonadotropin
synthesis and release, was first identified in quail hypothalamus. GnIH acts on the pituitary …

Gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) regulates reproduction in all vertebrates. Until
recently, an antagonistic neuropeptide for gonadotropin was unknown. The discovery of an …

We recently identified a novel hypothalamic neuropeptide inhibiting gonadotropin release in
the quail brain and termed it gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH). In this study, we …

Identification of novel neurohormones that play important roles in the regulation of pituitary
function is essential for the progress of neurobiology. The decapeptide gonadotropin …
