Studies on the properties of hypothalamic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone.
The effects of various chemical and enzymatic treatments on the biological activity of porcine luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) are described. This experiment was performed before the elucidation of the structure of LH-RH. LH-RH activity was abolished by the following endopeptidases: chymotrypsin, subtilisin, papain, and thermolysin, but not by pepsin or trypsin. Exopeptidases d...
متن کاملStructure of Chicken Hypothalamic Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone
Avian luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) has been isolated from 249,000 chicken hypothalami and shown to differ structurally from mammalian hypothalamic LH-RH. Purification was achieved by acetic acid extraction, anti-LH-RH affinity chromatography, and cation exchange and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The isolated peptide eluted as a single peak on reverse phas...
متن کاملLuteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonists.
BACKGROUND Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) plays a central role in the vertebrate reproduction by regulating gonadal activity. Based on its binding to pituitary LH-RH receptors, as well as to LH-RH receptors expressed on cancer cells, LH-RH agonists and antagonists have been developed for different therapeutic applications. OBJECTIVE/METHOD Here we give an overview of the most r...
متن کاملNMR Studies of Metal-binding Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone
Functions of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) and its induced release by divalent metal ions have received great attention because this neurotransmitter subsequently regulates the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). Metal-LHRH complexes were synthesized by addition of various Cu(II),Ni(II),Zn(II) ions into LHRH in order to understand how the induced release of LHRH is possibl...
متن کاملGonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons in the preoptic-hypothalamic region of the rat contain lamprey gonadotropin-releasing hormone III, mammalian luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, or both peptides.
This study utilized a newly developed antiserum, specific for lamprey gonadotropin-releasing hormone III (l-GnRH-III), to determine the following: in which regions of the rat hypothalamus the neuronal perikarya producing l-GnRH-III are localized; and whether this peptide, known to selectively induce follicle-stimulating hormone release, is coexpressed in neurons containing mammalian luteinizing...
