Gonadotrophin‐Releasing Hormone Pulse Generator Activity in the Hypothalamus of the Goat
Satoshi Ohkura,Kenji Takase,Shuichi Matsuyama,Kazutaka Mogi,Toru Ichimaru,Y. Wakabayashi,Yoshihisa Uenoyama,Yuji Mori,Robert A. Steiner,Hiroko Tsukamura,Kei-ichiro Maeda,Hiroaki Okamura +11 more
TL;DR: Observations suggest that the kisspeptin neurones in the ARC may be the intrinsic source of the GnRH pulse generator, and could plausibly reflect the pacemaker activity of kisspe leptin neurones, whose projections reach the median eminence where GnRH fibres project.
Journal ArticleDOI
The luteinising hormone surge-generating system is functional in male goats as in females: involvement of kisspeptin neurones in the medial preoptic area.
Fuko Matsuda,K. Nakatsukasa,Yuta Suetomi,Yousuke Naniwa,D. Ito,Naoko Inoue,Y. Wakabayashi,Hiroaki Okamura,Kei-ichiro Maeda,Yoshihisa Uenoyama,Hiroko Tsukamura,Satoshi Ohkura +11 more
TL;DR: The data show that the mechanism that initiates the LH surge in response to oestrogen, the mPOA kisspeptin neurones, is functional in male goats, and sexual differentiation of the LH Surge‐generating system would not be applicable to goats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurokinin 3 receptor-selective agonist, senktide, decreases core temperature in Japanese Black cattle.
Sho Nakamura,Masafumi Miwa,Yasuhiro Morita,Satoshi Ohkura,Takashi Yamamura,Y. Wakabayashi,Shuichi Matsuyama +6 more
TL;DR: Senktide infusion caused a decline in the vaginal temperature of cattle, in both winter and summer seasons, and this effect was not due to the gonadotropin-releasing action of senktide, which provides new therapeutic options to support both heat-defense responses and GnRH/LH pulse generation.
