The time course of GnRH pulse generator activity and plasma concentrations of energy substrates and insulin were simultaneously observed in female goats during 4-day fasting and subsequent refeeding in the presence or absence of estrogen for a better ...

Male pheromones in ruminant species such as sheep and goats are known to reactivate quiescent ovarian function in seasonally anestrous females. We have previously shown that only a few minutes exposure to the male pheromone can accelerate the GnRH pulse ...

Role of Posterodorsal Medial Amygdala Urocortin-3 in Pubertal Timing in Female Mice
Post-traumatic stress disorder impedes pubertal development and disrupts pulsatile LH secretion in humans and rodents. The posterodorsal sub-nucleus of the medial amygdala (MePD) is an upstream modulator of the hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone

Pulsatile GnRH release is essential for normal reproductive function. Kisspeptin secreting neurons found in the arcuate nucleus, known as KNDy neurons for co-expressing neurokinin B, and dynorphin, drive pulsatile GnRH release.

Emerging Perspectives on Gonadotropin Regulation in Vertebrates Revealed by the Discovery of FSH-RH in Teleosts. [PDF]
Regarding pituitary gonadotropin regulation, recent studies have shown that in mammals, FSH and LH are regulated by a single GnRH (solo GnRH model), whereas in teleosts, they are regulated by CCK (FSH‐RH) and GnRH (LH‐RH), respectively (dual GnRH model).

Dynamics of pulsatile activities of arcuate kisspeptin neurons in aging female mice
Reproductive senescence is broadly observed across mammalian females, including humans, eventually leading to a loss of fertility. The pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is essential for gonad function, is primarily ...

A population of kisspeptin/neurokinin B neurons in the arcuate nucleus may be the central target of the male effect phenomenon in goats. [PDF]
Exposure of females to a male pheromone accelerates pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion in goats. Recent evidence has suggested that neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) containing kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB) play a pivotal ...

Opioidergic pathways and kisspeptin in the regulation of female reproduction in mammals
Endogenous opioid peptides have attracted attention as critical neuropeptides in the central mechanism regulating female reproduction ever since the discovery that arcuate dynorphin neurons that coexpress kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB), which are also

The necessity and functional significance of neurotransmitter co-transmission remains unclear. The glutamatergic ‘KNDy’ neurons co-express kisspeptin, neurokinin B (NKB), and dynorphin and exhibit a highly stereotyped synchronized behavior that reads out
