Mathematical Modeling of Perifusion Cell Culture Experiments on GnRH Signaling [PDF]
The effects of pulsatile GnRH stimulation on anterior pituitary cells are studied using perifusion cell cultures, where constantly moving medium over the immo- bilized cells allows intermittent GnRH delivery. The LH content of the outgoing medium serves as a readout of the GnRH signaling pathway activation in the cells.
