Research Abstract |
Reproductive function is regulated by two modes (pulse and surge modes) of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion in mammals. The present study suggested that metastin/kisspeptin neurons distributed in the anteroventral paraventricular nucleus (AVPV) and hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) plays a key role in regulating surge and pulse modes of GnRH/gonadotropin release, respectively, and then follicular development and ovulation.
