Intratesticular signals regulate germ cell progression and production of qualitatively mature spermatozoa in vertebrates [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014 Spermatogenesis, a highly conserved process in vertebrates, is mainly under the hypothalamic-pituitary control, being regulated by the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins, FSH and LH, in response to stimulation exerted by Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (

Evaluation of Neuroendocrine Dysfunction Following Acute Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2023 Background and Aim: In the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), endocrine dysfunction is infrequently considered. Pituitary (neuroendocrine) dysfunction is highly prevalent after aSAH, leading to residual symptoms such as decreased ...

The Influence of Anandamide on the Anterior Pituitary Hormone Secretion in Ewes—Ex Vivo Study
Animals, 2020 Cannabinoids (CBs) are involved in the neuroendocrine control of reproductive processes by affecting GnRH and gonadotropins secretion. The presence of cannabinoid receptors (CBR) in the pituitary raises a presumption that anandamide (AEA), the endogenous

Comparative effects of coconut water and N-Acetyl cysteine on the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis of male rats [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2017 Coconut water (CW) contains cysteine, an amino acid which influences glutathione metabolism and promotes reproductive functions. The effects of CW and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) were compared on the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal-axis of danazol-(a GnRH ...

Evaluation of different hormone inducers on the reproduction of Prochilodus brevis males
Revista Ciência Agronômica, 2023 The use of carp pituitary extract (CPE) in fish reproduction may have drawbacks, whereas analogues of mammalian (aGnRHm) or salmon (aGnRHs) gonadotropins containing dopamine inhibitor (DI) may offer greater advantages.

Testicular “Hyperstimulation” Syndrome: A Case of Functional Gonadotropinoma
Case Reports in Endocrinology, 2014 Gonadotropins secreting pituitary tumors tend to present as sellar mass with hypogonadism. Biologically active LH secretion by these tumors resulting in elevated testosterone is extremely rare. We report a case of a 48-year-old male patient who presented
