Kisspeptin-GPR54 signaling is essential for preovulatory gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuron activation and the luteinizing hormone surge.
Kisspeptin and its receptor GPR54 have recently been identified as key signaling partners in the neural control of fertility in animal models and humans. The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons represent the final output neurons of the neural network controlling fertility and are suspected to be the primary locus of kisspeptin-GPR54 signaling. Using mouse models, the present study add...
متن کاملCircadian regulation of Kiss1 neurons: implications for timing the preovulatory gonadotropin-releasing hormone/luteinizing hormone surge.
The preovulatory GnRH/LH surge depends on the presence of estradiol (E(2)) and is gated by a circadian oscillator in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that causes the surge to occur within a specific temporal window. Although the mechanisms by which the clock times the LH surge are unclear, evidence suggests that the SCN is linked to GnRH neurons through a multisynaptic pathway that includes ne...
متن کاملGene expression in a subpopulation of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) neurons prior to the preovulatory gonadotropin surge.
Gene expression in luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) neurons was analyzed during the periovulatory period to (1) characterize temporal patterns of LHRH gene expression and their relationship(s) to gonadotropin surges, and (2) determine if any such changes are uniform or dissimilar at different rostrocaudal levels of the basal forebrain. The number of neurons expressing mRNA for the d...
متن کاملEffect of human chorionic gonadotropin on preovulatory luteinizing hormone surge and ovarian hormone secretion in gilts.
The influence of varying doses of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on the preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) surge, estradiol-17 beta (E2) and progesterone (P4) was studied in synchronized gilts. Altrenogest (AT) was fed (15 mg X head-1 X d-1) to 24 cyclic gilts for 14 d. Pregnant mares serum gonadotropin (PMSG; 750 IU) was given im on the last day of AT feeding. The gilts were then assign...
متن کاملKisspeptin-gpr54 signaling at the GnRH neuron is necessary for negative feedback regulation of luteinizing hormone secretion in female mice.
Kisspeptin-Gpr54 signaling is critical for regulating the activity of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in mammals. Previous studies have shown that the negative feedback mechanism is disrupted in global Gpr54-null mutants. The present investigation aimed to determine (1) if a lack of cyclical estrogen exposure of the GnRH neuronal network in the life-long hypogonadotropic Gpr54-nul...
