The GnRH Pulse Generator

open access: yesAIMS Medical Science, 2016
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 gonads that produce changes in the steroid hormone milieu.

The neurobiological mechanism underlying hypothalamic GnRH pulse generation: the role of kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus [version 2; peer review: 4 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2020
This review recounts the origins and development of the concept of the hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator. It starts in the late 1960s when striking rhythmic episodes of luteinizing hormone secretion, as reflected by ...

Optical control of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus kisspeptin neuronal network with a photoswitchable peptide that drives luteinizing hormone release in female mice. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Neuroendocrinol
Abstract Pulsatile gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion are essential for reproductive function and are thought to be governed by arcuate nucleus kisspeptin Kiss1ARH neurons via neurokinin B (NKB) signaling through TacR3.

Novel insights into the metabolic action of Kiss1 neurons

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2020
Kiss1 neurons are essential regulators of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis by regulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release. Compelling evidence suggests that Kiss1 neurons of the arcuate nucleus (Kiss1ARC), recently identified as

Sustained induction of PMOS-like phenotype in mice exposed to letrozole in drinking water. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Neuroendocrinol
Abstract Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS; formerly polycystic ovary syndrome) is the most common endocrinopathy affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by ovarian dysfunction and hyperandrogenism, with metabolic disturbances including insulin resistance and obesity also present for 50% of PMOS patients.

Perinatal exposure to the fungicide ketoconazole alters hypothalamic control of puberty in female rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
IntroductionEstrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as diethylstilbestrol (DES) are known to alter the timing of puberty onset and reproductive function in females.

[Electrophysiological studies on the hypothalamic GnRH pulse generator].

open access: yesNihon Naibunpi Gakkai zasshi, 1992
Gonadal function in mammals depends on gonadotropins secreted from the pituitary gland in a pulsatile manner. This pulsatility is governed by the periodic activation of the hypothalamic GnRH pulse generator. By means of multiple unit activity (MUA) recording techniques, characteristics increases in the neuronal activity, each of which is associated ...

Induction of Gonadotropins for Reproductive Control

open access: yesJournal of Dentistry Indonesia, 2015
Much of the recent research on gonadotropin – related control processes of reproduction and reproductive maturation has concentrated on the neuronal and molecular biology of gonadotropin release.

Optogenetic stimulation of Kiss1ARC terminals in the AVPV induces surge-like luteinizing hormone secretion via glutamate release in mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Kisspeptin neurons are mainly located in the arcuate (Kiss1ARC, vis-à-vis the GnRH pulse generator) and anteroventral periventricular nucleus (Kiss1AVPV, vis-à-vis the GnRH surge generator).

Modelling KNDy neurons and gonadotropin-releasing hormone pulse generation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and its frequency are crucial for healthy reproductive function. To understand what drives GnRH pulses a combination of experimental and mathematical modelling approaches have been used ...
