Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Represses GnRH Gene Expression via cFOS during Inflammation in Male Mice. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundThe mechanisms whereby neuroinflammation negatively affects neuronal function in the hypothalamus are not clear. Our previous study determined that obesity-mediated chronic inflammation elicits sex-specific impairment in reproductive function ...

Mixed-mode oscillations in a multiple time scale phantom bursting system [PDF]
, 2012 In this work we study mixed mode oscillations in a model of secretion of GnRH (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone). The model is a phantom burster consisting of two feedforward coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo systems, with three time scales.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract This narrative review highlights the impact of exercise on vascular health in females over the lifespan with an emphasis on puberty, pregnancy and menopause. These events encompass substantial changes in sex hormone levels, particularly oestrogens and progesterone.

Advanced Biology, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2026.This study introduces and investigates different‐sex gonad transplants in a mouse model of gender‐affirming hormone therapy. Ovaries and testes implanted into gonadectomized adults exhibit gametogenesis and steroidogenesis independent of the sex of the host.

Food and the brain: Neural and endocrine control of feeding, metabolism, and reproduction
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Feeding and reproductive function are regulated by intricate systems that monitor food availability and energy stores, and on the basis of energy status, promote or put a brake on reproduction. This is particularly evident in the systems that regulate feeding and reproductive state in female mammals.

Exploring Marine Mammal Cognition as a Conservation Tool
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities.

Expanding the role of tachykinins in the neuroendocrine control of reproduction [PDF]
Reproductive function is driven by the hormonal interplay between the gonads and brain–pituitary axis. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is released in a pulsatile manner, which is critical for the attainment and maintenance of fertility; however ...

Novel pituitary actions of TAC3 gene products in fish model: Receptor specificity and signal transduction for prolactin and somatolactin α regulation by neurokinin B (NKB) and NKB-related peptide in carp pituitary cells [PDF]
, 2014 TAC3 is a member of tachykinins, and its gene product neurokinin B (NKB) has recently emerged as a key regulator for LH through modulation of kisspeptin/GnRH system within the hypothalamus.
