Regulation and Function of RFRP-3 (GnIH) Neurons during Postnatal Development
RFamide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3) [mammalian ortholog to gonadotropin-inhibiting hormone (GnIH)] potently inhibits gonadotropin secretion in mammals. Studies of RFRP-3 immunoreactivity and Rfrp expression (the gene encoding RFRP-3) in mammalian brains have uncovered several possible pathways regulating RFRP-3 neurons, shedding light on their potential role in reproduction and other processes, ...
متن کاملRegulation of protein metabolism during postnatal development.
The foetal and neonatal periods of mammalian development are associated with a profound anabolic state leading to an unprecedented rate of growth. Although both energy and protein intake are important in determining the postnatal growth rate of the rat, studies using artificial diets have shown that it is protein intake which is the most significant factor (Miller, 1970). The weight gain during...
متن کاملIdentification of Human GnIH Homologs, RFRP-1 and RFRP-3, and the Cognate Receptor, GPR147 in the Human Hypothalamic Pituitary Axis
The existence of a hypothalamic gonadotropin-inhibiting system has been elusive. A neuropeptide named gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH, SIKPSAYLPLRF-NH(2)) which directly inhibits gonadotropin synthesis and release from the pituitary was recently identified in quail hypothalamus. Here we identify GnIH homologs in the human hypothalamus and characterize their distribution and biological act...

متن کاملThe control of reproductive physiology and behavior by gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) controls the reproductive physiology and behavior of vertebrates by stimulating synthesis and release of gonadotropin from the pituitary gland. In 2000, another hypothalamic neuropeptide, gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), was discovered in quail and found to be an inhibiting factor for gonadotropin release. GnIH homologs are present in the brains of v...
