Kisspeptin and RFRP-3 differentially regulate food intake and metabolic neuropeptides in the female desert jerboa
Jerboas are wild rodents exhibiting exceptional adaptation to their desert environment. Under harsh autumn conditions, they shut down reproduction, increase body weight and hibernate, while during spring they become sexually active even under negative energy-balance. We recently reported that these rhythms are associated with synchronized changes in genes expressing reproductive (Kiss1, Rfrp) a...
متن کاملDifferential expression of RFamide-related peptide, a mammalian gonadotrophin-inhibitory hormone orthologue, and kisspeptin in the hypothalamus of Abadeh ecotype does during breeding and anoestrous seasons.
Gonadotrophin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) is a novel hypothalamic neuropeptide that was discovered in birds as an inhibitory factor for gonadotrophin release. RFamide-related peptide (RFRP) is a mammalian GnIH orthologue that inhibits gonadotrophin synthesis and release in mammals through actions on gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurones and gonadotrophs, mediated via the GnIH receptor (...
متن کاملKisspeptin neurones in the posterodorsal medial amygdala modulate sexual partner preference and anxiety in male mice
The posterodorsal medial amygdala (MePD) is a neural site in the limbic brain involved in regulating emotional and sexual behaviours. There is, however, limited information available on the specific neuronal cell type in the MePD functionally mediating these behaviours in rodents. The recent discovery of a significant kisspeptin neurone population in the MePD has raised interest in the possible...
متن کاملGonadotropin-releasing hormone neurones innervate kisspeptin neurones in the female mouse brain.
Kisspeptin (KP) neurones in the rostral periventricular area of the third ventricle (RP3V) and arcuate nucleus (Arc) are important elements in the neuronal circuitry regulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. KP and co-synthesised neuropeptides/neurotransmitters act directly on GnRH perikarya and processes. GnRH neurones not only form the final output pathway regulating the rep...
متن کاملDistribution and regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, kisspeptin, RF-amide related peptide-3, and dynorphin in the bovine hypothalamus.
Recent work has led to the hypothesis that kisspeptin/neurokinin B/dynorphin (KNDy) neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) play a key role in gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generation and gonadal steroid feedback, with kisspeptin driving GnRH release and neurokinin B and dynorphin acting as pulse start and stop signals, respectively. A separate cell group, expressing RFamide-related ...
