Immunohistochemical localization of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the fetal and early postnatal mouse brain.
The objectives were to (a) determine the age in development when GnRH is first detectable in the brain and (b) observe the distribution of GnRH throughout the fetal and early postnatal period. GnRH was localized immunohistochemically in fetal (15, 16, 17 and 19 days of gestation) and early postnatal (1- and 7-day-old) mice with the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method of Sternberger. In the o...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in the basic membrane properties of postnatal gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons in the mouse.
The electrophysiological characteristics of unmodified, postnatal gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in the female mouse were studied using whole-cell recordings and single-cell RT-PCR methodology. The GnRH neurons of adult animals fired action potentials and exhibited distinguishable voltage-current relationships in response to hyperpolarizing and depolarizing current injections. On...
متن کاملGene Expression Profile of CatSper3 and CatSper4 during Postnatal Development of Mouse Testis
Channel activities, particularly those of calcium channels, have vital roles in the process of sperm maturation, motility and sperm-egg interaction. A group of the recently discovered ion channels associated with these processes is four novel channel-like proteins known as CatSper (cation channel sperm) gene family. CatSper1 and CatSper2 show sperm specific expression patterns. However, neither...
متن کاملDifferential distribution of gonadotropin-releasing hormone-immunoreactive neurons in the stingray brain: functional and evolutionary considerations.
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a neuropeptide that occurs in multiple structural forms among vertebrate species. Bony fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals express different forms of GnRH in the forebrain and endocrine regions of the hypothalamus which regulate the release of reproductive gonadotropins from the pituitary. In contrast, previous studies on bony fishes and tet...
متن کاملThe effects of estradiol on gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons in the developing mouse brain.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis plays a critical role in the control of reproduction. Two key hormonal components of the HPG axis are gonadal steroids and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Gonadal steroids are known to organize the development of neural substrates which control adult reproductive behavior; GnRH is required for normal reproductive structure and function. The p...
