Neural and endocrine mechanisms underlying stress-induced suppression of pulsatile LH secretion

Stress is well-known to inhibit a variety of reproductive processes, including the suppression of episodic Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion, typically measured via downstream luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. Since pulsatile secretion of GnRH and LH are necessary for proper repro…
