Foliation-Based Parameter Tuning in a Model of the GnRH Pulse and Surge Generator [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2009
We investigate a model of the GnRH pulse and surge generator, with the definite aim of constraining the model GnRH output with respect to a physiologically relevant list of specifications. The alternating pulse and surge pattern of secretion results from the interaction between a GnRH secreting system and a regulating system exhibiting fast-slow ...

Derangement of the hypothalamic GnRH pulse generator in women with epilepsy

open access: yesSeizure: the Journal of the British Epilepsy Association, 1993
An increased frequency of reproductive endocrine diseases has been described in women with epilepsy and a subclinical reproductive dysfunction has been suggested in normally menstruating epileptic women. We assessed the reproductive endocrine function in 11 normally menstruating, drug-free epileptic women, evaluating the basal hormonal profile and LH ...

The GnRH pulse generator

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1990
The notion of an oscillator or signal generator in the central nervous system that controls the rhythmic release of GnRH and, thereby, the pulsatile secretion of the gonadotropic hormones, originated in the finding of strikingly abrupt and rhythmic fluctuations in the concentration of LH in the plasma of ovariectomized monkeys. These oscillations had a

The hypothalamic GnRH pulse generator: multiple regulatory mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2009
Pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release is an intrinsic property of hypothalamic GnRH neurons. Pulse generation has been attributed to multiple specific mechanisms, including spontaneous electrical activity of GnRH neurons, calcium and cAMP signaling, a GnRH receptor autocrine regulatory component, a GnRH concentration ...

The electrophysiology of the GnRH pulse generator in the rhesus monkey

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry, 1989
The electrophysiological correlates of hypothalamic GnRH pulse generator activity in the rhesus monkey are described. They are characterized by abrupt increases in neuronal multiunit electrical activity (volleys) that are coincident with the initiation of LH pulses in the peripheral circulation.

KNDy Neurons of the Hypothalamus and Their Role in GnRH Pulse Generation: an Update

Endocrinology, 2023
Abstract There is considerable evidence that synchronized activity within a reciprocally connected population of cells in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) coexpressing kisspeptin, neurokinin B (NKB), and dynorphin (KNDy cells) is crucial for the generation of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulses in mammals. The initial “KNDy hypothesis”

Kisspeptin and GnRH Pulse Generation

2013
The reproductive neuropeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) has two modes of secretion. Besides the surge mode, which induces ovulation in females, the pulse mode of GnRH release is essential to cause various reproductive events in both sexes, such as spermatogenesis, follicular development, and sex steroid synthesis.
