There is growing evidence that lifestyle choices account for the overall quality of health and
life (QoL) reflecting many potential lifestyle risks widely associated with alterations of the …

Thyroid function affects multiple sites of the female hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal (HPG)
axis. Disruption of thyroid function has been linked to reproductive dysfunction in women …

Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that inhibits
gonadotropin secretion in birds and mammals. To further understand its physiological roles …

Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that regulate diverse cellular functions and are
essential to facilitate normal physiology. However, stress-induced levels of glucocorticoids …

Under stressful condition, reproductive function is impaired due to the activation of various
components of the hypothalamic–pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis, which can suppress the …

A hypothalamic neuropeptide, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), is the primary
factor regulating gonadotropin secretion. An inhibitory hypothalamic neuropeptide for …

Abstract Context: Kisspeptins stimulate GnRH and thus gonadotropin secretion. Kisspeptin-
10 is the minimal kisspeptin sequence with full intrinsic bioactivity, but it has not been …

RFamide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3) is known to inhibit the activity of GnRH neurons. It is
not yet clear whether its G protein-coupled receptors, GPR147 and GPR74, are present on …

Objective: Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH)-3 is a neuropeptide that plays a major
role in the regulation of reproduction and feeding in mammals. Materials and Methods: We …

Animals inhabiting temperate and boreal latitudes experience marked seasonal changes in
the quality of their environments and maximize reproductive success by phasing breeding …
