Neuromodulation of Transplanted Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Neurons
Implantation of normal preoptic area (POA) tissue into the third ventricle of adult hypogonadal (HPG) mice provides a source of GnRH neurons that innervate the host median eminence and stimulate reproductive development in the sterile mutants. To further evaluate graft-host integration, the effects of N-methyl-D,L-aspartic acid (NMA) and opiate antagonists on LH secretion in HPG mice with POA t...
متن کاملEpigenetic Control of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Neurons
Epigenetic modifications to the genome, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, occur in response to external stimuli. Reproductive function is highly sensitive to environmental conditions including season, diet, hormonal changes, and exposure to chemical contaminants. GnRH neurons, which play a key role in reproduction, are particularly sensitive to various environmental stimuli. ...
متن کاملThe effects of supraphysiological levels of testosterone on neural networks upstream of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons
Objective(s): Several pathological conditions are associated with hyper-production of testosterone; however, its impacts are not well understood. Hence, we evaluated the effects of supraphysiological levels of testosterone on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) system in the hypothalamus of male rats. Also, we assessed the expression of two excitatory (kisspeptin and...
متن کاملSocial regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
Behavioral interactions among social animals can regulate both reproductive behavior and fertility. A prime example of socially regulated reproduction occurs in the cichlid fish Haplochromis burtoni, in which interactions between males dynamically regulate gonadal function throughout life. This plasticity is mediated by the brain, where neurons that contain the key reproductive regulatory pepti...
متن کاملRegulation of pituitary gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors by pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone injections in male rats. Modulation by testosterone.
The pattern of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulus is critically important in the regulation of pituitary gonadotropin secretion and continuous infusions down-regulate secretion while intermittent pulses maintain luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) responsiveness. We examined the effects of pulsatile GnRH administration on pituitary GnRH receptors (GnR...
