Urocortin 3 in the posterodorsal medial amygdala mediates psychosocial stress-induced suppression of LH pulsatility in female mice

Abstract: Exposure to psychosocial stress disrupts reproductive function and interferes with pulsatile luteinising hormone (LH) secretion in mammals. The posterodorsal sub-nucleus of the medial amygdala (MePD) is part of the limbic brain and is an upstream modulator of the reproductive axis as well as stress and anxiety states. Corticotropin releasing factor type-2 receptors (CRFR2) are activated in the presence of psychosocial stress together with an increased expression of the CRFR2 ligand Urocortin3 (Ucn3) in MePD of… Show more
