Journal ArticleDOI
Methods for quantifying follicular numbers within the mouse ovary
TL;DR: This study describes unbiased, assumption-free stereological methods for quantification of early and growing follicular numbers in the mouse ovary to facilitate an improved understanding of follicular dynamics and the factors that mediate their growth and maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of glutamate in the photic regulation of the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
TL;DR: A wide range of experimental findings provides strong support for the hypothesis that glutamate is the principal neurotransmitter within the RHT, and thus conveys photic cues to the circadian timing system in the SCN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypothalamic thyroid hormone catabolism acts as a gatekeeper for the seasonal control of body weight and reproduction.

TL;DR: It is shown that the availability of thyroid hormone within the hypothalamus is a key determinant of seasonal transitions, and a pivotal role for hypothalamic DIO3 and T(3) catabolism in seasonal cycles of body weight and reproduction in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neuroendocrine timing of puberty.
TL;DR: The clear links demonstrated between metabolic fuel availability and reproductive function in many animal models provides evidence that the earlier onset of pubertal development observed in girls in certain US study populations is likely to relate to the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity in adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of constant-release implants of melatonin on seasonal cycles in reproduction, prolactin secretion and moulting in rams
TL;DR: The overall results are consistent with the view that melatonin is the physiological hormone that relays the effects of changing photoperiod on reproduction and other seasonal features, and that continuous exogenous melatonin from an implant interferes with the normal 'signal' and produces an over-riding short-day response.
