The present study aimed to investigate the brain mechanism mediating estrogen feedback to regulate two modes (pulse and surge) of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)/gonadotropin release. Kisspeptin neurons located in the anteroventral periventricular nucleus (AVPV) and hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) are considered to control follicular development and ovulation via GnRH pulse and surge, respectively. In vivo and in vitro study using rats and mice revealed that epigenetic mechanism is involved in the both negative and positive feedback effects of estrogen to control expression of kisspeptin located in the AVPV and ARC. Since kisspeptin neurons are considered to govern reproductive function in mammals, the present results are expected to be applied to increase animal production efficiency in the future.
