摘要: In mammals hypothalamic control of gonadotropin secretion is mediated by mammalian luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (mLHRH), or gonadotropin-releasing (GnRH) and a follicle-stimulating (FSH) RH that IGnRH-III closely related polypeptide. We believe the differential pulsatile release FSH LH its at different times estrous cycle are accounted for FSHRH LHRH. Both LHRH act on gonadotropes to increase intracellular free calcium combines with calmodulin activate neural nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). The NO released activates guanylyl cyclase converts guanosine triphosphate (GTP) into cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) induces exocytosis gonadotropin-containing secretory granules. adipocyte leptin has equal potency from male rat pituitaries NO. It also releases arcuate-nuclear median eminence explants ovariectomized, estrogen-blocked rats, whereas it inhibits same preparation these actions brought about via NO, which controls stimulated other means. Just prior proestrus, sensitivity LH-releasing action peaks suggesting plays role in induction puberty.
