Abstract

Energy balance exerts a critical influence on reproductive function. Leptin and insulin are among the metabolic factors signaling the nutritional status of an individual to the hypothalamus, and their role in the overall modulation of the activity of GnRH neurons is increasingly recognized. As such, they participate to a more generalized phenomenon: the signaling of peripheral metabolic changes to the central nervous system. The physiological importance that the interactions occurring between peripheral metabolic factors and the central nervous system bear for the control of food intake is increasingly recognized. The central mechanisms implicated are the focus of attention of very many research groups worldwide. We review here the experimental data that suggest that similar mechanisms are at play for the metabolic control of the neuroendocrine reproductive function. It is appearing that metabolic signals are integrated at the levels of first-order neurons equipped with the proper receptors, ant that these neurons send their signals towards hypothalamic GnRH neurons which constitute the integrative element of this network.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
