Reproductive physiology: songbird study removes long-standing neuroendocrinology research roadblock.
Songbirds have long been favored as models to investigate the neuroendocrine mechanisms that regulate seasonal reproduction. Progress in this area has for many years been hindered by our inability to identify the songbird gene that codes for GnRH1, the hypothalamic decapeptide that stimulates the secretion of gonadotropins by the pituitary gland and, consequently, gonadal development (1, 2, 3)....
متن کاملContribution of GnIH Research to the Progress of Reproductive Neuroendocrinology
Since the discovery of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in mammals at the beginning of the 1970s, it was generally accepted that GnRH is the only hypothalamic neuropeptide regulating gonadotropin release in mammals and other vertebrates. In 2000, however, gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), a novel hypothalamic neuropeptide that actively inhibits gonadotropin release, was discovered in...

متن کاملEditorial: Reproductive Neuroendocrinology and Social Behavior
Reproduction consists of various physiological events including fertilization, development of sexual characteristics, social behavior, maturation, and aging. Reproductive functions are ultimately regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a pivotal hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates vertebrate reproduction (Schally et al., 1972). I...
