The concept that different systems control episodic and surge secretion of gonadotropin‐
releasing hormone (GnRH) was well established by the time that GnRH was identified and …

The pulsatile release of GnRH and LH secretion is essential for fertility in all mammals.
Pulses of LH occur approximately every hour in follicular-phase females and every 2 to 3 …

Tanycytes are bipolar cells bridging the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to the portal capillaries
and may link the CSF to neuroendocrine events. During the perinatal period a …

Few areas have witnessed the type of growth we have seen in the affective sciences in the
past decades. Across psychology, philosophy, economics, and neuroscience, there has …

Recent work has led to the hypothesis that kisspeptin/neurokinin B/dynorphin (KNDy)
neurons in the arcuate nucleus play a key role in GnRH pulse generation, with kisspeptin …

The ovarian follicle luteinizing hormone (LH) signaling molecules that regulate oocyte
meiotic maturation have recently been identified. The LH signal reduces preovulatory follicle …

Gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the key regulator of the reproductive
axis. Its pulsatile secretion determines the pattern of secretion of the gonadotropins follicle …

Normal reproductive functioning in mammals depends upon gonadotropin-releasing
hormone (GnRH) neurons generating a pulsatile pattern of gonadotropin secretion. The …

Menopause is characterized by an altered hormonal status and by a decrease in life quality
due to the appearance of uncomfortable symptoms. Nowadays, with increasing life span …

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion has two modes of release in
mammalian species; the surge mode and the pulse mode. The surge mode, which is …
