Abstract
The GT1-1 gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) cell line releases GnRH in a pulsatile fashion. This finding demonstrates that the generation and synchronization of GnRH pulses is an intrinsic property of GnRH neurons. It appears that propagated action potentials and a Ca(2+)-coupled secretory mechanism are necessary for pulsatile release. The secretion of GnRH from GT1 cells is stimulated by both norepinephrine and dopamine respectively via beta 1-adrenergic and D1-dopaminergic receptors. These findings provide new data for the understanding of the complex neuroendocrine regulation of luteinizing hormone.Entities:
