Thyroid hormones and seasonal reproductive neuroendocrine interactions

Abstract: Many animals that breed seasonally measure the day length (photoperiod) and use these measurements as predictive information to prepare themselves for annual breeding. For several decades, thyroid hormones have been known to be involved in this biological process; however, their precise roles remain unknown. Recent molecular analyses have revealed that local thyroid hormone activation in the hypothalamus plays a critical role in the regulation of the neuroendocrine axis involved in seasonal reproduction in bot… Show more

“…The influence of breeding status on TH could also be the result of TH and reproductive endocrine systems being intimately intricated (Nakao et al, 2008). For example, decreases in T3 serum levels were reported in lactating Crioula Lanada Serrana ewes compared to non-lactating females (Colodel et al, 2010).…”

“…This reciprocal switching between induction of DIO2 and DIO3 seems to fine-tune the thyroid hormone concentration within the MBH. Photoperiodic changes in DIO2 and DIO3 expression and T 3 concentration within the MBH have been confirmed in various vertebrate species, including quail (3, 4), sparrows (5), rats (6), hamsters (5, 7-11), goats (12), and sheep (13), and are understood to play a critical role in the control of seasonal reproduction (2,14). Although the responses of DIO2 and DIO3 to photoperiodic changes appear conserved among various species, the signal transduction pathway regulating DIO2 and DIO3 appears to differ between birds and mammals.…”

“…The main hormone involved in the regulation of the beginning of the rutting season is melatonin, while iodothyronines like thyroxine are considered in the mechanisms controlling entrance into the seasonal anestrus (Nakao et al 2008, Yoshimura 2010). The results obtained in this work confirm that thyroxine secretion shows circannual rhythms, characterized by higher concentrations in winter/spring than in the summer/autumn period (Webster et al 1991, Abecia et al 2005).…”

“…Various reports have implied the impact of hormones produced in the thyroid on seasonal regulation of sexual activity in red deer, but in this area, their role remains not fully explained (Nakao et al 2008, Ashkar et al 2010, Yoshimura 2010, Dittrich et al 2011, Khan et al 2011, Chu et al 2012, Ikegami and Yoshimura 2012, Mutinati et al 2013, Sechman 2013. Moreover, there are no reports indicating the circannual secretion profile of parathormone, produced in the parathyroid glands, in accordance to seasonality of breeding in red deer.…”
