Identification and characterization of a gonadotropin-inhibitory system in the brains of mammals

Abstract: Successful reproduction requires maintenance of the reproductive axis within fine operating limits through negative feedback actions of sex steroids. Despite the importance of this homeostatic process, our understanding of the neural loci, pathways, and neurochemicals responsible remain incomplete. Here, we reveal a neuropeptidergic pathway that directly links gonadal steroid actions to regulation of the reproductive system. An RFamide (Arg-Phe-NH 2) peptide that inhibits gonadotropin release from quail pituit… Show more

“…Although it is unclear whether the pineal gland and melatonin are involved in the control of gGnIH in goldfish, it is an important modulator in avians and mammals , Chowdhury et al 2013. Estradiol (E 2 ) increases early gene expression in, and alters the activities of, GnIH-immunoreactive cells in hamsters (Kriegsfeld et al 2006, Gibson et al 2008, whereas it decreases Gnih mRNA expression in mice (Molnár et al 2011). In goldfish, gGnIH implantation stimulated serum testosterone levels in males, although it had no effect on E 2 levels in females (Qi et al 2013).…”

“…Nesse sentido, recentemente foi descoberto um hormônio, cujos neurônios secretores apresentam receptores de estrógeno, sendo denominado hormônio inibidor de gonadotrofinas (GnIH). O GnIH desempenha um papel na regulação negativa da secreção de LH em aves (TSUTSUI et al, 2000) e mamíferos (KRIEGSFELD et al, 2006). Esse hormônio é complementar ao papel da kisspeptina, a qual estimula a liberação de GnRH (KAISER & KUOHUNG, 2005).…”

“…O sistema nervoso central (SNC) interpreta informações periféricas, que o induzem a priorizar a demanda energética para processos indispensáveis. Assim, a síntese e liberação do GnRH é reduzida (I'ANSON et al, 1997;KRIEGSFELD et al, 2006), afetando principalmente a ovulação. Os sítios potenciais de reflexo da nutrição na função ovariana incluem (i) o hipotálamo, via regulação da frequência de GnRH; (ii) a hipófise, regulando a síntese e liberação das gonadotrofinas e hormônio do crescimento; e (iii) o ovário, regulando o crescimento folicular, esteroidogênese e a atividade de fatores de crescimento e suas proteínas de ligação (DISKIN et al, 2003).…”
