Mathematical Modelling on Lamprey GnRH-III using Autoregressive Logistic Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a mathematical model is developed based on current biological concepts of the lamprey GnRH-III involved in LH and FSH concentration . The physiologic role played by GnRH-III on gonadotropin secretion in mammalian species is controversial. Although GnRH-III is a weak GnRH agonist, early research in mammalian species suggested that GnRH-III can selectively stimulate the secretion of FSH without changing concentration of LH. Statistical analysis was carried out using power logistics, the diagnostic values of FSH , LH as well as LH/FSH ratio at different time points during GnRH test were evaluated using logistic processes.

Functional characterization and kinetic studies of an ancestral lamprey GnRH-III selective type II GnRH receptor from the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus.
The recently cloned lamprey GnRH receptor was shown to have several unique features, including the longest intracellular C-terminal tail (120 amino acids (aa)) of any previously described GnRH receptor. In the current study, a series of experiments were performed examining cAMP responses, binding kinetics, whole cell competitive binding assays and internalization studies of the lamprey GnRH rec...
متن کاملCharacteristics of GnRH binding in the gonads and effects of lamprey GnRH-I and -III on reproduction in the adult sea lamprey.
In the present study, both lamprey GnRH-I and -III stimulated steroidogenesis and induced ovulation in adult female sea lampreys during their final reproductive stage. One injection of lamprey GnRH-III at 0.1 or 0.2 microg/g lamprey stimulated plasma estradiol levels in lampreys held at each of three water temperatures, 13 degrees , 17 degrees , and 19 degrees , corresponding to increasing stag...
متن کاملEvidence for a novel gonadotropin-releasing hormone in hypothalamic and forebrain areas in songbirds.
One or more of three distinct forms of gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRHs), has been found in all vertebrates studied. Birds are known to contain two types of GnRH, chicken GnRH-I and -II (cGnRH-I and -II), but to date nobody has investigated the possibility of the presence of lamprey GnRH-III in birds. Thus, our objective was to investigate the presence and distribution of immunoreactive l...
متن کامل15alpha-hydroxytestosterone induction by GnRH I and GnRH III in Atlantic and Great Lakes sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus L.).
The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus L.) represents one of the two most ancient classes of vertebrates and possesses a functional hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis. However, the presence and functionality of androgens in the sea lamprey remain elusive. Recently, 15alpha-hydroxytestosterone (15alpha-T) has been found in sea lamprey gonads and blood plasma. In this study we examined changes of c...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of a functional type II gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor with a lengthy carboxy-terminal tail from an ancestral vertebrate, the sea lamprey.
A full-length transcript encoding a functional type II GnRH receptor was cloned from the pituitary of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus. The current study is the first to identify a pituitary GnRH receptor transcript in an agnathan, which is the oldest vertebrate lineage. The cloned receptor retains the conserved structural features and amino acid motifs of other known GnRH receptors and nota...
