Pulsatile luteinizing hormone disruption in depression.
Two independent groups recently published data comparing pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) release between depressed and control women. Despite similar populations and LH sampling frequency, they reached different conclusions: Meller et al. [Am. J. Psych. 154 (1997) 1454] found disruption of normal LH pulsatility in depressed women, whereas Young et al. [Arch. Gen. Psych. 57 (2000) 1157] did n...
متن کاملPulsatile Luteinizing Hormone Secretion in Patients
The physiological and pathophysiological role of cortisol in pulsatile LH release was investigated in 14 patients (5 men, 6 premenopausal women, and 3 postmenopausal women) with Addison’s disease. The explicit effect of cortisol in relation to the effect of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), ACTH, and opioids was ensured by hypo-, normo-, and hypercortisolism. Hypocortisolism was obtained by...
متن کاملPulsatile or continuous infusion of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone and hormonal concentrations in prepubertal beef heifers.
An experiment was conducted to determine if exogenous luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) administered iv intermittently as pulses (P) or by continuous sc infusion (I) using osmotic minipumps could sustain pulsatile LH release and induce estrous cyclicity in prepubertal heifers. Prepubertal heifers were assigned randomly to: 1) receive pulses of LHRH (n = 6; 2.5 micrograms LHRH/2 h for...
متن کاملIntracerebroventricular administration of melanin-concentrating hormone suppresses pulsatile luteinizing hormone release in the female rat.
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) has been reported to be involved in the regulation of feeding behaviour in rats and mice. Because many neuropeptides that influence ingestive behaviour also regulate reproductive function, the present study was designed to determine if central administration of MCH changes pulsatile secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) in the rats. Wistar-Imamichi strain fem...
متن کاملDoes cortisol mediate endotoxin-induced inhibition of pulsatile luteinizing hormone and gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion?
Bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide), a commonly used model of immune/inflammatory stress, inhibits reproductive neuroendocrine activity and concurrently induces a profound stimulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. We employed two approaches to test the hypothesis that enhanced secretion of cortisol mediates endotoxin-induced suppression of pulsatile GnRH and LH secretion in th...
