چکیده مقاله:

The up-regulator regulation and down-regulator regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in central precocious puberty is not yet known. However, recent advances in neuroendocrinology have shown the controlling role of arginine-phenylalanine (RF)-amide-related peptides (RFRPs) on GnRH secretion in different phenomenon of reproduction such as estrus cycle and pregnancy, but the exact role of RFRPs in puberty and its related pathologic condition, precocious puberty, is not clear yet. This paper hypothesizes that RFRP is a regulatory peptide of puberty and might prevent the precocious puberty. On the basis of previous studies on hormonal fluctuations at the time of puberty, RFRP might have a role on controlling of premature secretion of GnRH and avoiding central precocious puberty.

Decreased Expression of Arginine-Phenylalanine-Amide-Related Peptide-3 Gene in Dorsomedial Hypothalamic Nucleus of Constant Light Exposure Model of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Objective An abnormality in pulse amplitude and frequency of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion is the most characteristics of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). On the other hand, arginine-phenylalanine-amide (RFamide)-related peptide-3 (RFRP3) inhibits the secretion of GnRH in mammalian hypothalamus. Therefore, the current study evaluated the expression of RFRP3 mRNA in dorsomed...

Central precocious puberty secondary to hypothalamic hamartoma

Introduction Central precocious puberty (CPP) presenting at a very young age is likely to have an underlying pathology. One of the pathologies is hypothalamic hamartoma (HH), a non-neoplastic tumour-like lesion located at the floor of the third ventricle, near the tuber cinereum. Two young children with CPP due to HH without gelastic seizures or mental retardation were successfully managed and ...

The Role of Arginine-Phenylalanine-Amide-Related Peptides in Mammalian Reproduction

Until 2000 it was believed that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) was the sole regulator of hypophyseal gonadotropes. In 2000, the discovery of a gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH) initiated a revolution in the field of reproductive physiology. Identification of GnIH homologues in mammals, the arginine-phenylalanine- amide (RFamide)-related peptides (RFRPs), indicated a similar function...

P-21: RF-Amide Related Peptide mRNA Expression in Male Rat Dorsomedial Hypothalamic Nucleus during Chronic Stress

Background Chronic stress induces male reproductive dysfunction; however, the involved mechanisms are not clear. It has been suggested that the gonadotrophin-inhibitory hormone, known as RF-amide related peptide (RFRP) in mammalian species, may mediate this inhibitory effect of stress. The objective of the present study was to compare the effect of chronic stress and glucocorticoids receptor an...
