“…Pharmacological manipulation of various neurotransmitter and peptidergic systems has been shown to affect GnRH and subsequent LH release in female mammals. Most of this work has been done in spontaneous ovulators, including rats (9,25,93,133,153) and monkeys (reviewed in 208). To date, the rabbit (reviewed in 179,208) and ferret (120,229) are the only induced ovulating species in which pharmacological studies have been conducted to analyze the neuroendocrine signals which control the postcoital release of GnRH from the MBH.…”

“…In relation to this, the POA is innervated by neurons containing the catecholamine neurotransmitters noradrenaline (NA; 7, 8) adrenaline (A; 9) and dopamine (DA; 10) and the inhibitory amino-acid y-aminobutyric acid (GABA; 1 I , 12). NA and GABA neurons have been shown to concentrate oestrogen (1 3-1 5 ) and all four neuroactive substances have been implicated in mediating the actions of gonadal steroids on LH secretion (16,17). This study sought to determine whether POA catecholamines and GABA play a role in mediating the actions of oestrogen on LH secretion during the preovulatory LH surge.…”

“…A II excites a large proportion of neurons in this region, increasing the neuronal discharge frequency (13) and facilitating the release of norepinephrine and dopamine (12) in the MPOA. Norepinephrine is released in a pulsatile pattern and stimulates LHRH secretion (11).…”

“…In contrast, norepinephrine has a stimulatory action on LH secretion (11). Furthermore, there is an interaction between A II and catecholamines in certain brain structures (3), among them the MPOA, where A II facilitates the release of norepinephrine and dopamine (12).…”
