Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptors: Characterization, Physiological Regulation, and Relationship to Reproductive Function

CLAYTON, RICHARD N., CATT, KEVIN J.·1981·Endocrine Reviews

Abstract

THE TONIC and cyclic secretion of gonadotropins is mediated by the hypothalamic production of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). The direct assessment of hypothalamic function has been hampered by the absence of reliable methods for the measurement of GnRH production and secretion. Endogenous hypothalamic GnRH probably never reaches the general circulation in sufficiently high concentration to be measured by RIA (1–5), since the pituitary gland has the capacity to metabolize the majority of the peptide secreted into the hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal circulation (6–10). Attempts to determine the rate and amplitude of GnRH secretion have shown that GnRH concentrations in hypophyseal stalk plasma fluctuate between 20 and 800 pM (11–14). Such studies have revealed that GnRH is released in a pulsatile fashion, although rapid changes in secretion rate cannot be detected during the long period required for sample collection. In addition to modulating the concentration of GnRH in hypophyseal portal plasma (14–16), the sex-steroid milieu of the animal may also regulate the frequency of GnRH pulses.

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.
