GnRH neurons directly listen to the periphery.
The survival of a mammalian species relies on the ability of its individuals to promptly, efficiently and reproducibly transmit homeostatic signals to the hypothalamic neuronal population that releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and controls fertility. This requires the intervention of neuronal networks that make continual adjustments to brain function in response to moment-to-moment...
متن کاملMelanin-concentrating hormone directly inhibits GnRH neurons and blocks kisspeptin activation, linking energy balance to reproduction.
A link between energy balance and reproduction is critical for the survival of all species. Energy-consuming reproductive processes need to be aborted in the face of a negative energy balance, yet knowledge of the pathways mediating this link remains limited. Fasting and food restriction that inhibit fertility also upregulate the hypothalamic melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) system that prom...
متن کاملHuman GnRH deficiency: a unique disease model to unravel the ontogeny of GnRH neurons.
Evolutionary survival of a species is largely a function of its reproductive fitness. In mammals, a sparsely populated and widely dispersed network of hypothalamic neurons, the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, serve as the pilot light of reproduction via coordinated secretion of GnRH. Since it first description, human GnRH deficiency has been recognized both clinically and genetic...
متن کاملIntroduction to special topic—estrogenic control of hypothalamic GnRH neurons
In female mammals, sexual maturation is initiated by a change in the release pattern of pituitary gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and a consequential increase in the secretion of ovarian sex-steroids, estradiol and progesterone. Orchestrating these endocrine changes is a diffuse population of hypothalamic neurons that produce the neuropeptide, gon...
