1 GABA control of GnRH release from the ewe hypothalamus in vitro: sensitivity to oestradiol. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid gonadotropin releasing hormone 1 Homo sapiens
2 The present study examines the involvement of GABA(A or B) receptors in gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release in vitro and determines whether oestradiol modulates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-GnRH interaction. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid gonadotropin releasing hormone 1 Homo sapiens
3 The present study examines the involvement of GABA(A or B) receptors in gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release in vitro and determines whether oestradiol modulates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-GnRH interaction. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid gonadotropin releasing hormone 1 Homo sapiens
4 However, GnRH increased (p < 0.05) after exposure to 10 mM GABA(A or B) antagonists (bicuculline or CGP52432, respectively). gamma-Aminobutyric Acid gonadotropin releasing hormone 1 Homo sapiens
5 The GABA(A) antagonist stimulated greater sustained GnRH release (p < 0.05) in the absence of oestradiol than in its presence. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid gonadotropin releasing hormone 1 Homo sapiens
6 Only after exposure of hypothalamic slices to the GABA(A) antagonist, did the hypothalamic eluate stimulate luteinizing hormone release from pituitary fragments (p < 0.05) confirming that the GABA(A) antagonist stimulated release of biologically active GnRH. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid gonadotropin releasing hormone 1 Homo sapiens
7 In summary, GnRH release from the hypothalamus is predominantly under GABA(A) receptor inhibitory control and this is attenuated in the presence of oestradiol. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid gonadotropin releasing hormone 1 Homo sapiens
