99 8333840 Differential control of activin, inhibin and follistatin proteins in cultured rat granulosa cells.
100 8333840 Follistatin, activin and inhibin proteins are produced by granulosa cells, but the mechanisms controlling their production remain unclear.
101 8333840 Here, we examined how the protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) pathways act and interact to regulate production of these proteins.
102 8333840 Conditioned media were assayed for inhibin and activin by ligand blotting using recombinant human 125I-follistatin and for follistatin by double ligand blotting using cold activin plus 125I-follistatin.
103 8333840 In contrast, GnRH and TPA stimulated activin, and to a lesser degree, inhibin production; significantly, this is the first demonstration of activin dimer production by granulosa cells.
104 8473380 To investigate hypothalamic and/or pituitary abnormalities in women with poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and secondary amenorrhea, we measured serum LH every 10 min for 24 h and for 2 additional h after the administration of exogenous GnRH in 8 women with IDDM and amenorrhea and compared these to data from 15 eumenorrheic nondiabetic women.
105 8473380 The IDDM women responded to a 10-micrograms GnRH bolus with LH pulses of larger total (51 +/- 15.9 vs. 15 +/- 1.4 IU/L; P < 0.01) and incremental (29 +/- 7.6 vs. 9 +/- 1.2; P < 0.001) amplitude.

107 8473380 The IDDM women responded to a 10-micrograms GnRH bolus with LH pulses of larger total (51 +/- 15.9 vs. 15 +/- 1.4 IU/L; P < 0.01) and incremental (29 +/- 7.6 vs. 9 +/- 1.2; P < 0.001) amplitude.
108 8796342 Three months after the head injury, the hormonal evaluation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis by means of insulin stress test with the simultaneous administration of TRH and GnRH resulted in reduced responses of GH, cortisol, TSH, FSH, and LH with low baseline serum concentrations of free T4 and testosterone.
109 8817243 Two tumours did not respond to PACAP, although LHRH was stimulatory in these.
110 8817243 These results indicate that PACAP can directly stimulate LH and FSH secretion by human pituitary gonadotrophs and that PACAP-receptors in gonadotrophin-secreting tumours are coupled with adenylate cyclase but not the PI second messenger system.
111 8957739 TRH and LHRH tests were not systematically performed.
112 9063651 Anterior pituitary function was tested by use of the combined anterior pituitary (CAP) function test, which consisted of sequential 30-sec intravenous injections of four hypothalamic releasing hormones, in the following order and doses: 1 microgram of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)/kg, 1 microgram of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)/kg, 10 micrograms of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)/kg, and 10 micrograms of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)/kg.
113 9063651 Plasma samples were assayed for adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), cortisol, GH, luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin (PRL) at multiple times for 120 min after injection.
114 9063651 In the CAP test and the haloperidol test, the peaks for the plasma concentrations of ACTH, cortisol, GH, LH, PRL, and alpha-MSH occurred within 45 min after injection.
115 9063651 At 2 and 10 wk after hypophysectomy, there were no responses of plasma GH, LH, PRL, and alpha-MSH to stimulation.
116 9063651 It is concluded that 1) stimulation of the anterior pituitary with multiple hypophysiotropic hormones, stimulation of the pars intermedia with a dopamine antagonist, and stimulation of the neurohypophysis with hypertonic saline do not cause side effects that would prohibit routine use, 2) in the routine stimulation of the anterior pituitary and the pars intermedia, blood sampling can be confined to the first 45 min, 3) the ACTH and cortisol responses to hypophysiotropic stimulation are the most sensitive indicators for residual pituitary function after hypophysectomy, 4) small islets of pituitary cells in the sella turcica, containing corticotropic cells, are the most likely source of the attenuated corticotropic response that may occur after hypophysectomy, and 5) residual AVP release from the hypothalamus after hypophysectomy is sufficient to prevent diabetes insipidus, despite the fact that the AVP response to hypertonic saline infusion is completely abolished.
117 9228515 In order to clarify the effect of exogenous corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) on catecholaminergic and serotoninergic system activity in the mediobasal hypothalamus-median eminence (MBH-ME) of ewes the changes in extracellular levels of noradrenaline (NA) and serotonin (5HT), and main metabolites of monoamines, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylglycol (MHPG), 3,4-dihydroxy-phenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanilic acid (HVA), and 5-hydroxy-indolo-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) were quantified in the perfusates collected from MBH-ME.
118 9228515 CRF induced a rise in extracellular concentration of NA and 5-HT only in the estrous ewes prior to a preovulatory LH surge.
119 9228515 CRF treatment caused a heterogenous effect on extra-cellular concentrations of 5-HT in ewes during the preovulatory LH surge.
120 9228515 It is suggested that: 1) the responses of monoaminergic systems activity in the MBH-ME to CRF in large degree is dependent upon physiological state of ewes and 2) in some endocrinological phases CRF may affect LHRH and other hypothalamic hormone secretion indirectly by altering monoaminergic system activity in the MBH-ME.
121 9245068 Is leptin and insulin resistance in the X-5H hormonal metabolic syndrome a parallel or causally-linked phenomenon?].
122 9245068 It seems that leptin controls not only the function of the hypothalamic satiety centre but also the output of GnRh and other liberins as well as thermoregulation, muscular and sexual activity and thus energy expenditure.
123 9245068 In the insulin resistance syndrome (5H-X) it may thus be assumed that there is a parallel leptin and insulin resistance, probably of the postreceptor type, and even a causal association, as the "db" gene is identical with the gene for leptin receptors.
124 9264049 LHRH receptors and LHRH receptor-bearing cells in pituitaries of streptozocin diabetic male rats.
125 9264049 Possible causes for the gonadotrope disorders may be low hypothalamic LHRH secretion alone or combined with reduced (a) number of LHRH receptor sites, or (b) receptor to ligand affinity, or (c) of LHRH receptor-bearing cells.
126 9264049 To clarify this question we determined by saturation and competition binding Bmax, KD and KA of the LHRH receptor sites and counted the receptor-bearing cells in pituitary glands of control and STZ-diabetic adult male rats.
127 9264049 The number of LHRH receptor-bearing cells in diabetic animals was increased.

216 12466346 To more clearly define the impact of early diabetic alterations in the male reproductive axis, we applied a combined strategy of patient selection restricted to young men with relatively short duration of IDDM, dual control groups, multiparameter deconvolution analysis to assess LH secretory activity, and assessment of time-dependent changes in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-stimulated serum testosterone concentrations.
217 12466346 Uncontrolled IDDM patients had significantly (P < 0.05) lower integrated serum LH concentrations after the first and second GnRH pulses (first GnRH pulse, 4460 +/- 770 vs. 7250 +/- 1200 and 5120 +/- 910 IU/liter; second pulse, 4700 +/- 615 vs. 7640 +/- 881 and 7100 +/- 1230 IU/liter; poorly controlled vs. well controlled IDDM and healthy men, respectively) and markedly attenuated LH secretory burst mass after the second GnRH stimulus (49 +/- 8.8 vs. 90 +/- 13 and 83 +/- 19 IU/liter; poorly controlled vs. well controlled IDDM and healthy controls, respectively).
218 12466346 The biological to immunological ratio of LH released in baseline conditions was higher in uncontrolled IDDM patients (0.81 +/- 0.10) than in controlled IDDM (0.37 +/- 0.08) and healthy controls (0.48 +/- 0.06; P < 0.01), whereas LH released in response to exogenous GnRH exhibited comparable ratios among the three study cohorts.

231 12861226 Leptin accelerates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulsatility in hypothalamic neurons, and it has a direct effect on the anterior pituitary.
232 12878721 We show that both LbetaT2 cells and adult rat pituitaries express MIS type II receptor (MISRII) mRNA.
233 12878721 Within 2 h, follicle-stimulating hormone beta subunit (FSHbeta) mRNA levels are significantly induced by addition of MIS to LbetaT2 cells and remain elevated through 8 h of treatment.
234 12878721 Transcriptional activation of both the FSHbeta and luteinizing hormone beta subunit (LHbeta) gene promoters was observed by MIS, which enhances the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist on the FSHbeta gene promoter and synergizes with the GnRH agonist to stimulate LHbeta gene promoter activity.
235 12878721 Addition of MIS to LbetaT2 cells stimulates the activity of the rat LHbeta gene promoter with as little as 1 microg/ml and in a dose-dependent manner.
236 12878721 These studies report both MISRII expression in rat pituitary cells and a gonadotrope-derived cell line and MIS-mediated activation of LHbeta and FSHbeta gene expression, and suggest that MIS may modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis at more than one level.

262 12951633 The purpose of the present study was to analyse the effect of leptin treatment on the hypothalamic release of GnRH, GABA, and the excitatory amino acids (EAA), aspartate (ASP) and glutamate (GLU) involved in NMDA neurotransmission in prepubertal (15 day old) and peripubertal (30 day old) female rats.
263 12951633 The hypothalamic release of GnRH was increased by leptin at both ages, the release being significantly higher in peripubertal than in prepubertal rats.
264 12951633 In conclusion, the results showed that leptin increased GnRH release by the hypothalamus of prepubertal and peripubertal rats.
265 12951633 These results and previous reports suggest that at this stage of sexual maturation, leptin exerts an stimulatory effect on GnRH by inducing release of excitatory amino acids (ASP) and reducing release of inhibitory amino acids (GABA) involved in GnRH control.
266 12951633 In prepubertal rats the stimulating effect of the adipocyte hormone on GnRH appears to be related to its stimulative action on GABA which at this age increases GnRH release.

273 12959992 To test whether the increased incidence of diabetes in castrated male NOD mice is related to an increase in GnRH activity, we treated castrated male NOD mice with Antide, a GnRH receptor antagonist, to determine the effect on the incidence and timing of onset of diabetes.
274 14715715 Although the infertility of Cpe(fat/fat) mice has not been systematically investigated, it is thought to be due to a deficit in GnRH processing.
275 14736738 Although the site of action of CGRP remains to be established, the induction of c-Fos expression in the preoptic area and hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus might suggest an involvement of these brain regions.
276 14736738 Coadministration (intracerebroventricular) of CGRP (400 pmol) with a CRH antagonist (alpha-helical CRF(9-41), 26 nmol) partly blocked the CGRP-induced suppression of LH pulses.
277 14736738 These results suggest that the suppression of pulsatile LH secretion by central administration of CGRP may be mediated in part by CRH, and that CGRP may play a pivotal role in the normal physiological response of stress-induced suppression of the hypothalamic GnRH pulse generator, and hence the reproductive system.

279 15127327 A few-day shift of the preovulatory GnRH/LH surge, as determined by estrous behavior, might, however, be a consequence of the PRL-induced increase in catecholamine turnover in the IN/ME.
280 15232060 The FSH-beta and GnRH-receptor genes are up-regulated by pituitary activin and down-regulated by pituitary follistatin, and circulating inhibin disrupts this local regulation by functioning as an endogenous competitor of the activin receptor.
281 15232060 There is evidence that the intra-pituitary regulation of FSH-beta and GnRH-receptor gene expression may activate pubertal maturation in male rats.

284 15319828 Inhibin, activin, and follistatin were first identified as gonadal hormones that could exert selective effects on follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion without affecting luteinizing hormone (LH).
285 15319828 Although the primary source of inhibin remains the gonad, both activin and follistatin are produced in extragonadal tissues and can exert effects on FSH through an autocrine-paracrine mechanism.
286 15319828 Second, activin up-regulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) gene expression, leading to alterations in the synthesis and release of both gonadotropins in response to GnRH.
287 15319828 Third, activin can stimulate GnRH release from GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus and thereby affect FSH and LH secretion.
288 15319828 Both inhibin and follistatin can negatively regulate these effects by preventing activin binding to the activin receptor at the cell membrane and blocking activation of downstream signal transduction pathways.
289 15319828 This review concentrates on the mechanisms through which inhibin, activin, and follistatin regulate the gonadotropins.

378 15512855 Corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) released during stress has been implicated in the disruption of the reproductive neuroendocrine axis, and 17beta-oestradiol (E2) has been shown to enhance stress-induced suppression of pulsatile gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinising hormone (LH) release.
379 15512855 Suppression of LH pulses by insulin-induced hypoglycaemic (IIH) stress was completely prevented by intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of a CRH antagonist.
380 15528398 Hindbrain neurons producing neuropeptide Y (NPY) and catecholamines (CA) then project to the forebrain where they contact GnRH neurons both directly and also indirectly via corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons to inhibit GnRH secretion.
381 15528398 In the case of estrous behavior, the best available evidence suggests that the inhibitory NPY/CA system acts primarily via CRH or urocortin projections to various forebrain loci that control sexual receptivity.

390 15662591 Signal transduction mediating gene expression of SP1, LHbeta-subunit and GH in response to GnRH or GHRH in the postnatal and fetal porcine anterior pituitary in vitro.
391 15662591 To clarify signal transduction pathways mediating putative gene expression of transcription factor SP1 (selective promoter factor 1 or specificity protein 1) by GnRH or GHRH porcine anterior pituitary monolayer cultures were exposed for various time periods to GnRH, GHRH, activators of adenylate cyclase (AC) or proteinkinase C (PKC), and mRNA levels of SP1, LHbeta-subunit, and GH were determined by multiplex RT-PCR.
392 15662591 Postnatally (4 weeks) SP1 mRNA level was maximally increased by GnRH, GHRH and both by activation of AC or PKC after 2 h of exposure.
393 15662591 Two-hour stimulation of SP1 mRNA levels by dbcAMP was totally blocked by H89, while this inhibitor not clearly blocked GHRH stimulated SP1 mRNA levels.
394 15662591 Stimulation of LHbeta mRNA by GnRH was suppressed by inactivation of AC or of PKC but not by inactivation of PKA.
395 15662591 Already at day 50 of fetal life (and likewise day 80) SP1 mRNA levels were stimulated by GHRH or activation of AC, but not by GnRH or activation of PKC.
396 15662591 The results are consistent with the notion that SP1 plays an important role 1) in conferring GnRH responsiveness to the LHbeta-subunit gene by mediating the actions of both AC and PKC and 2) in conferring GHRH responsiveness to the GH gene through activation of the AC probably PKA pathway.
397 15662591 Furthermore, the data are in line with the view that the GHRH/AC/SP1/GH pathway develops earlier during fetal life than the GnRH/PKC/SP1/LHbeta pathway.

551 17003237 We also demonstrated expression of a beta-chemokine, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and its receptor, CC motif receptor-2 (CCR2), in the hypothalamic GnRH neurons as well as in GT1-7 and GN11 cells.
552 17003237 Exogenous MCP-1 stimulated chemotaxis of both cell lines in a dose-dependent fashion; the effect was greater in GN11 than in GT1-7 cells, consistent with the higher CCR2 mRNA levels in GN11 cells.
553 17003237 We conclude that the CaR may be a novel regulator of GnRH neuronal migration likely involving, in part, MCP-1.

569 17018449 Recent data suggest that in addition to leptin's role in conveying signals of the amount of energy stores to the central nervous system, this adipocyte secreted hormone interacts with the endocrine system to provide critical information about the size of fat stores, acting as a permissive factor that allows the triggering of energy demanding situations as the onset of puberty and reproduction.
570 17018449 The hypothalamus is an important site of leptin's action where a complex network of neuropeptides is involved in leptin's effect on GnRH.
571 17213356 The ovarian-type stroma had a spindle cell component that was positive for progesterone receptors and had the hitherto unreported presence of abundant foci of luteinised stromal cells with characteristic immunohistochemical positivity to alpha-inhibin, calretinin, aromatase and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors.
572 17476303 Administration of kisspeptin-10 resulted in an increase in plasma luteinizing hormone levels, further supporting appropriate regulation of the introduced GnRH transgene.
573 17710734 Folliculostellate cells are targets of cytokines, peptides, and steroid hormones, and produce growth factors and cytokines, including follistatin, the dynamic regulator of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) production that binds activin, and limits activin signaling.
574 17710734 Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) and its receptor are found in folliculostellate cells in which they stimulate transcription of the follistatin gene through cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A (PKA) signaling.
575 17710734 When PACAP increases, follistatin levels increase, and FSH-beta mRNA is reduced.
576 17710734 PACAP also activates gonadotrophs to stimulate transcription of the gonadotropin alpha-subunit gene and lengthen the LH-beta mRNA, presumably to prolong it half-life, and increases responsiveness to GnRH.

617 18550775 Although FSH plays an essential role in controlling gametogenesis, the biology of FSHbeta transcription remains poorly understood, but is known to involve the complex interplay of multiple endocrine factors including GnRH.
618 18550775 We have identified a GnRH-responsive element within the rat FSHbeta promoter containing an E-box and partial cAMP response element site that are bound by the basic helix loop helix transcription factor family members, upstream stimulating factor (USF)-1/USF-2, and the basic leucine zipper member, cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), respectively.
619 18550775 Expression studies with CREB, USF-1/USF-2, and activating protein-1 demonstrated that the USF transcription factors increased basal transcription, an effect not observed if the cognate binding site was mutated.
620 18550775 Conversely, expression of a dominant negative CREB mutant or CREB knockdown attenuated induction by GnRH, whereas dominant negative Fos or USF had no effect on the GnRH response.
621 18550775 GnRH stimulation specifically induced an increase in phosphorylated CREB occupation of the FSHbeta promoter, leading to the recruitment of CREB-binding protein to enhance gene transcription.

696 19669946 The GnRH, PG, and GLP-1R mRNA levels in GK rats were lower, respectively, than those in control rats, while the GnRHR levels did not differ significantly between GK rats and control rats.
697 19669946 There were no difference in GnRH, PG, GnRHR, and GLP-1R mRNA levels in the ileum and colon tissue between HCh and control rats.
698 19669946 The GnRH mRNA levels of GK rats were lower than those in control rats; however, the PG, GLP-1R, and GnRHR levels did not differ significantly between GK and control rats.
699 19669946 The GnRH level in the jejunum showed a significant effect on blood glucose level, while the PG level in the jejunum showed a significant effect on insulin level.
700 19669946 This may imply that, compared with the ileum and colon, the jejunum had greater impact on glucose metabolism; furthermore, GnRH might interact with intestinal GLP-1 and GLP-2 through the paracrine and autocrine ways and then regulate glucose metabolism and insulin secretion.
701 20008557 Oscillatory synthesis and secretion of the gonadotropins, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), under the control of pulsatile hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), is essential for normal reproductive development and fertility.
702 20008557 In contrast to the alpha and LH beta subunit genes, FSH beta subunit transcription is preferentially stimulated at low rather than high frequencies of pulsatile GnRH.
703 20008557 In this study, mutation of a cyclic AMP response element (CRE) within the FSH beta promoter resulted in the loss of preferential GnRH stimulation at low pulse frequencies.
704 20008557 We hypothesized that high GnRH pulse frequencies might stimulate a transcriptional repressor(s) to attenuate the action of CRE binding protein (CREB) and show that inducible cAMP early repressor (ICER) fulfills such a role.

759 20886012 Girls with slowly progressive precocious breast development, who were overweight and had PA (SPPOPA, 6.2-8.2 years, n = 5), overweight PA (6.6-10.8 years, n = 7), and overweight premenarcheal controls (OW-PUB, 10.6-12.8 years, n = 8) underwent hormonal sleep testing and GnRH agonist (GnRHag) and ACTH tests.
760 20953065 GH secretion is mainly regulated at the hypothalamus by a dual interplay between growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin, which are modulated by various factors.
761 20953065 We examined the regulatory mechanism of GH secretion in an apparently healthy young man without decreased IGF-1 concentration and nocturnal GH secretion, but who showed low responses to insulin tolerance (ITT) and to GHRP-2 tests.
762 20953065 However, he had normal secretion of pituitary hormone based on hypothalamic releasing hormone tests combined with CRH, GRH as GHRH, LH-RH and TRH.
763 20953065 In addition, he had a GH response without paradoxical secretion to TRH stimulation as well as an ACTH response to subcutaneous glucagon stimulation, and AVP secretion responded to 5% hypertonic saline infusion, though it was not adequately stimulated by ITT.
764 21076077 Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) ligands improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
765 21076077 Despite clinical studies showing normalization of pituitary responsiveness to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in patients with PCOS, the precise role of PPARG in regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis remains unclear.
766 21076077 In mouse LbetaT2 immortalized gonadotrophs, rosiglitazone treatment inhibited GnRH stimulation of the stress kinases p38MAPK and MAPKs/JNKs, but did not alter activation of ERKs, both in the presence and absence of activin.
767 21076077 Furthermore, p38MAPK signaling was critical for both Lhb and Fshb promoter activity, and rosiglitazone suppressed the GnRH-mediated induction of Lhb and Fshb mRNA.
768 21076077 Depletion of PPARG using a lentivirally encoded short hairpin RNA abolishes the effect of rosiglitazone to suppress activation of JNKs and induction of the transcription factors EGR1 and FOS as well as the gonadotropin genes Lhb and Fshb.
769 21076077 Lastly, we show conditional knockout of Pparg in pituitary gonadotrophs caused an increase in luteinizing hormone levels in female mice, a decrease in follicle-stimulating hormone in male mice, and a fertility defect characterized by reduced litter size.

782 21664428 In 2003, Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) was discovered as a novel locus causing both forms of isolate GnRH Deficiency, Kallmann syndrome [KS with anosmia] and normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism [nIHH] eventually accounting for approximately 10% of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) deficiency cases.
783 21664428 Additionally, the variable expressivity of both reproductive and non-reproductive phenotypes among patients and family members harboring the identical FGFR1 mutations has pointed to a more complex, oligogenic model for GnRH deficiency.
784 21664428 Further, reversal of HH in patients carrying FGFR1 mutations suggests potential gene-environment interactions in human GnRH deficiency disorders.

791 22229029 Developmental defects of GnRH neurons and the olfactory bulb are associated with hyposmia, rarely associated with the clinical phenotypes of synkinesia, cleft palate, ear anomalies, or choanal atresia, and may be due to mutations of KAL1, FGFR1/FGF8, PROKR2/PROK2, or CHD7.
792 22229029 Impaired GnRH secretion in normosmic patients with IHH may be caused by deficient hypothalamic GPR54/KISS1, TACR3/TAC3, and leptinR/leptin signalling or mutations within the GNRH1 gene itself.
793 22246489 The levels of all the pituitary hormones were elevated in response to a mixture of exogenous corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), and growth hormone-releasing hormone (GRH).
794 22246489 However, there was no response of ACTH and GH release to insulin-induced hypoglycemia and no response of LH and FSH release to clomiphene.
795 23392256 Delayed puberty but normal fertility in mice with selective deletion of insulin receptors from Kiss1 cells.
796 23392256 The neuropeptide kisspeptin, encoded by the Kiss1 gene, modifies GnRH neuronal activity to initiate puberty and maintain fertility, but the factors that regulate Kiss1 neurons and permit pubertal maturation remain to be clarified.
797 23392256 To determine whether insulin sensing plays an important role in Kiss1 neuron function, we generated mice lacking insulin receptors in Kiss1 neurons (IR(ΔKiss) mice).
798 23392256 These data suggest that impaired insulin sensing by Kiss1 neurons delays the initiation of puberty but does not affect adult fertility.
799 23393127 Expression of pituitary FSH and LH, under the control of pulsatile GnRH, is essential for fertility. cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) has been implicated in the regulation of FSHβ gene expression, but the molecular mechanisms by which pulsatile GnRH regulates CREB activation remain poorly understood.
800 23393127 GnRH stimulation of CREB phosphorylation (pCREB) in the gonadotrope-derived LβT2 cell line was attenuated by a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, H89.
