Several studies revealed that orexins may take part in the regulation of the different forms of affective and cognitive processes during wakefulness. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as an important part of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) have a crucial role in cognitive processes such as reward and decision-making and has a high density of orexin receptor type 1 (...
The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, important in reproduction and sex hormone-dependent diseases, is regulated by a number of G protein-coupled receptors. The recently "deorphanized" GPR54 receptor activated by the peptide metastin is thought to be the key regulator of the axis, mainly by releasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. The latter decapeptide, t...
Urocortin 2 (Ucn2) is a member of the corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) peptide family, which binds to CRF type 2 receptor. We previously reported on expression of Ucn2 in proopiomelanocortin cells of rat pituitary and its inhibitory action on LH secretion. We also demonstrated that Ucn2 is involved in the mechanism underlying immobilization-induced suppression of LH secretion; the details r...
Horse LH/chorionic gonadotrophin (eLH/CG) exhibits, in addition to its normal LH activity, a high FSH activity in all other species tested. Donkey LH/CG (dkLH/CG) also exhibits FSH activity in other species, but about ten times less than the horse hormone. In order to understand the molecular basis of these dual gonadotrophic activities of eLH/CG and dkLH/CG better, we expressed, in COS-7 cells...
The luteinizing hormone (LH) plays a critical role in steroidogenesis, by stimulating cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and phospholipase A2 activity, and by mobilizing calcium and chloride ions. In contrast, whether the ERK 1, 2 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are involved in LH-induced steroidogenesis is less obvious. Here, we sought to clarify this point in rat primary Leydig cel...
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that stimulation of lateral hypothalamus (LH) produces antinociception. Orexin-A (OXA) receptor is strongly expressed in the nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) and orexinergic fibers densely project from LH to LC. In this study, we assessed the role of LC and its OXA receptors in antinociceptive response induced by LH chemical stimulation in the rat. Methods:...
Background and Aim: Valsartan as a receptor antagonist angiotensin-II (AngII) is used to treat blood pressure disorders and affects various tissues of the body. Thus,the present study was performed to investigate the effect of Valsartan on the axis of the pituitary-gonadal axis in mature female rats. Materials and Methods: In this research, 40 mature female Wistar rats were randomly divided int...
During the differentiation of ovarian granulosa cells, follicle-stimulating hormone (follitropin; FSH) mediates the induction of cell surface receptors for luteinizing hormone (lutropin; LH). Using primary cultures of porcine granulosa cells, we demonstrate that both the induction and maintenance of LH receptors are critically dependent upon the continual presence of FSH. The termination of FSH...
Transgenic (TG) female mice expressing bLHbeta-CTP (a chimeric protein derived from the beta-subunit of bovine luteinizing hormone [LH] and a fragment of the beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG]) exhibit elevated serum LH, infertility, polycystic ovaries, and ovarian tumors. In humans, increased LH secretion also occurs in infertility and polycystic ovarian syndrome, often concomi...
Mifepristone given postovulatory has been shown effective for contraception, but the precise mechanism of action is still poorly understood. A better understanding of the mechanisms of action of mifepristone, when used for contraception, is important for further development and optimizing the regimen of use. To study the effects of mifepristone during the luteal phase, a single dose of 200mg mi...
