Acute stress, hypothAlAmic-hypophyseAl-gonAdAl Axis And testiculAr function – A reVieW
the fact that the stress response affects testicular function in several animal species, has been established for several decades. the aim of the present review was to describe how the mechanisms involved in the acute stress response affect directly or indirectly the testicular function at different levels. Both neuroendocrine axes linked to the stress response, i.e., the sympathetic-adrenomedu...
متن کاملThe hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis: immune function and autoimmunity.
GnRH and sex steroids play an important role in immune system modulation and development. GnRH and the GnRH receptor are produced locally by immune cells, suggesting an autocrine role for GnRH. Experimental studies show a stimulatory action of exogenous GnRH on the immune response. The immune actions of GnRH in vivo are, however, less well established. Oestrogen and androgen receptors are expre...
متن کاملGonadal function after testicular radiation for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Pubertal maturation, growth, and gonadal function were assessed in 13 boys with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia who had received direct testicular irradiation three to nine years earlier as treatment for testicular relapse or prophylaxis against this complication. Six boys had reached Tanner stage III-V puberty, five of whom had normal growth velocities and bone ages equivalent to chronological a...
متن کاملA role for endocannabinoids in acute stress-induced suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in male rats
OBJECTIVE Stress is known to be an inhibitor of the reproductive hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. However, the neural and molecular connections between stress and reproduction are not yet understood. It is well established that in both humans and rodents, kisspeptin (encoded by the kiss1 gene) is a strong stimulator of the HPG axis. In the present study we hypothesized that endocannab...
متن کاملFeedback on a feedback loop: the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
Recent evidence indicates that transthyretin (TTR), the major transport protein for thyroxine [1] and retinol binding protein [2], plays important roles in amyloidβ (Aβ) metabolism. Transthyretin has been demonstrated to bind Aβ in vitro [3,4] and in vivo [5,6], colocalize in Aβ plaques and within neurons containing intracellular Aβ [7], and recent evidence suggests it might act as a transport ...
