Several studies have previously reported the expression of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHr) in cases of endometrial cancer. However, the relationship between GnRHr expression and a variety of clinicopathologic parameters remains unclear. This study was conducted with 141 endometrial cancer patients, all of whom had undergone operations between 1993 and 2002. Paraffin-embedded...

Seasonally breeding birds detect environmental signals, such as light, temperature, food availability, and presence of mates to time reproduction. Hypothalamic neurons integrate external and internal signals, and regulate reproduction by releasing neurohormones to the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland synthesizes and releases gonadotropins which in turn act on the gonads to stimulate gametog...

Plasticity models invoke the synaptic delivery of AMPARs, yet we know little about how receptors move in vivo. In this issue of Neuron, Hoerndli et al. (2013) show that lateral diffusion and kinesin-mediated transport move AMPARs between synapses in vivo.

We evaluated the effects of caponization on mRNA levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone-I (GnRH-I), gonadotropin subunit and other hypothalamic and hypophyseal peptide genes in male chicken. Thirty roosters (25 d) with similar weight were equally divided into the experimental (capons) and control (sham-operated males) groups randomly. Caponization was performed at 28 days of age and birds wer...
