PMID: 21554652
The pars tuberalis (PT) of the pituitary gland shows dense binding of melatonin and consequently this region may be involved in modulating seasonal reproduction. Oestrogen is well established as a...

PMID: 21332841
Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a hypothalamic hormone transported by the hypophyseal portal bloodstream to the pituitary gland, where it binds to GnRH receptors. However, GnRH receptors are expressed in multiple...

PMID: 19187469
Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a hypothalamic decapeptide with an undisputed role as a primary regulator of gonadal function. It exerts this regulation by controlling the release of gonadotrophins. However, it...

17(1):29-39.
PMID: 15720473
Oestrogen powerfully affects the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the brain in all species investigated, including sheep. Until recently, it was hypothesised that such regulation occurs indirectly because few...

PMID: 14622436
The neuropeptide, galanin, has been implicated to play a significant role in numerous physiological functions, including reproduction. Studies on several species have shown that galanin enhances gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-induced luteinizing...
