The hypothalamic control of prolactin secretion is different from other anterior pituitary
hormones, in that it is predominantly inhibitory, by means of dopamine from the …

Mammalian reproductive function is a complex system of many players orchestrated by the
hypothalamus-pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis. The hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing …

The cDNA sequences encoding three GnRH forms, sea bream GnRH (sbGnRH), salmon
GnRH (sGnRH) and chicken GnRH II (cGnRH II), were cloned from the brain of European …

The relationship between elevated prolactin and infertility has been known for a long time,
but the specific mechanism by which prolactin inhibited reproduction had been uncertain …

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) had been widely used and its exposure in children has been
thought to be one of the reasons causing a trend of advanced pubertal timing in girls …

In mammals, lactation is associated with a period of infertility characterized by the loss of
pulsatile secretion of GnRH and cessation of ovulatory cycles. Despite the importance of …

Reproductive function is suppressed during lactation owing to the suckling-induced
suppression of the kisspeptin gene (Kiss1) expression in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) and …

Lactational anestrus, characterized by the suppression of pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing
hormone (GnRH)/luteinizing hormone (LH) release, would be a strategic adaptation to …

Gonadal function is often suppressed during lactation in mammals including rodents,
ruminants, and primates. This suppression is thought to be mostly due to the inhibition of the …

Purpose Hypothalamic kisspeptin neurons are considered to play a critical role in regulating
mammalian reproduction and integrating humoral and neuronal inputs that control …
