Physiology and release activity of GnRH neurons.

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the physiology and release activity of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons. The GnRH was first isolated from mammalian hypothalamus originally identified as a hypophysiotropic decapeptide that facilitates gonadotropin pituitary gonadotropes. It is possible to study, in semi-intact whole brain, physiology, morphology, cell biology single neurons by taking advantage vitro experimental conditions. Because neuronal bodies most vertebrate species are small diffusely distributed various brain regions, it extremely difficult study features Therefore, dwarf gourami clearly has advantages over other vertebrates cellular morphology been recognized recently there also diversity receptors, functional evolutionary significance such ligand receptors attracting more attention.
