Effects of Galanin and Leptin on Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone-Stimulated Luteinizing Hormone Release from the Pituitary

Abstract

Our results provide further details on the effect of galanin on the LH surge, particularly the effect on the response to pulsatile GnRH and the effect of protein production, and thereby indicate a means by which appetite- and nutrition-related peptides may act on the ovulatory cycle at the pituitary.
