Direct evidence that KNDy neurons maintain gonadotropin pulses and folliculogenesis as the GnRH pulse generator. [PDF]
Significance Reports suggest that at least 25% of women suffering from reproductive disorders are due to hypothalamic dysfunction. Pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) regimens are used for infertile women.

FRI419 Progesterone Regulation Of The GnRH Pulse Generator [PDF]
Disclosure: E.G. Wall: None. A group of kisspeptin neurons located in the arcuate nucleus (ARN) of the hypothalamus represent the GnRH pulse generator and their activity is thought to be controlled primarily by the feedback actions of estradiol and ...

RF01 | PMON45 Urocortin 3 Interaction with GABA and Glutamate in the Posterodorsal Subnucleus of The Medial Amygdala Mediates Suppression of GnRH Pulse Generator Frequency in Female Mice [PDF]
Stress exerts a profound impact on reproductive function and disrupts pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. The posterodorsal subnucleus of the medial amygdala (MePD) is an upstream modulator of the hypothalamus pituitary gonadal axis.

OR17-2 GABAergic Signalling in the Posterodorsal Medial Amygdala Mediates Psychological Stress-induced Suppression of the GnRH Pulse Generator in Female Mice [PDF]
Psychological stress is linked to infertility and reproductive dysfunction by suppressing the hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator and pulsatile luteinising hormone (LH) secretion.

KNDy neurons are named for their co-expression of three neuropeptides, kisspeptin, neurokinin B and dynorphin A (Dyn A). These cells, located in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), are assumed to be the generator of GnRH/LH pulses that control ...

The pulsatile secretion of hormones is an efficient way of coding a large variety of chemical messages. The GnRH pulse pattern determines which gonadotropin is released when and at what concentration, prescribing a detailed set of instructions to the ...
