What are the important horomones invovled in the control of reproduction?
GnRH, LH, FSH, inhibin, testosterone (in males), estrogens and progesterone (in females).
What does GnRH stand for?
GnRH-gonadotropin realeasing hormone
How does the body control puberty?
The endocrine system produces hormones.
How goserelin works on downregulation of gnrh?
Goserelin is an GnRH receptor agonist and bings stronger than GnRH. Due to the constant activation of the GnRH receptor (Goserelin binds really strong; Superagonist) the cell internalizes the receptor -> Downregulation.
Can anything stop puberty from happening?
Puberty can be delayed by blocking the release of GnRH from the hypothalamus. Growth hormone will do this partially, but there are also pharmacological methods (both GnRH agonists and antagonists have been effectively used).
Is GnRH a steroid hormone?
No, GnRH or gonadotropin releasing hormone is not a steroid, but rather a peptide (type of protein) hormone.
What is the function of GnRH?
GnRH, short for gonadotropin-releasing hormone, is released by the part of the brain known as the hypothalamus. At the beginning of the menstual cycle, the hypothalamus releases GnRH. The GnRH then stimulates a different part of the brain, the pituitary gland, to produce two hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
What endocrine galens are responsible for the development ogf secondary sexual characteristics in humans?
Hypothalamus act on pituitarx gland which releases GnRH and LH harmone which in turn act on testicles in males and ovary in females which cause to release testostetorone in males and estrogen ,progesterone in females which are responsible for secondary sexual charecters
Gonadotropin releasing hormone GnRH is a?
hypothalamic hormone
What do the GnRH directly stimulate the release of?
FSH and LH
GnRH directly stimulates the release of?
FSH and LH
Which hypothalamic hormone triggers the secretion of FSH?
GnRH
