New insight into the role of the beta3 subunit of the GABAA-R in development, behavior, body weight regulation, and anesthesia revealed by conditional gene knockoutCarolyn Ferguson
Departments of Anesthesiology and Pharmacology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15261, USA
BMC Neurosci 8:85. 2007..To overcome many of these limitations, a mouse line with a conditionally inactivated beta3 gene was engineered...
Neurons of the lateral preoptic area/rostral anterior hypothalamic area are required for photoperiodic inhibition of estrous cyclicity in sheepStanley M Hileman
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia 26506, USA
Biol Reprod 85:1057-65. 2011....
Evidence of a role for kisspeptin and neurokinin B in puberty of female sheepCasey C Nestor
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia 26506, USA
Endocrinology 153:2756-65. 2012..These results support the hypothesis that kisspeptin is a gatekeeper to female ovine puberty and raise the possibility that NKB may also play a role, albeit through different means...
Evidence that the arcuate nucleus is an important site of progesterone negative feedback in the eweRobert L Goodman
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Robert C Byrd Health Sciences Center, Morgantown, West Virginia 26506, USA
Endocrinology 152:3451-60. 2011..These data, which are the first evidence on the neural sites in which progesterone inhibits GnRH pulse frequency in any species, are consistent with the hypothesis that ARC dynorphin neurons mediate this action of progesterone...
Evidence that dopamine acts via kisspeptin to hold GnRH pulse frequency in check in anestrous ewesRobert L Goodman
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Robert C Byrd Health Sciences Center, Morgantown, WV 26506, USA
Endocrinology 153:5918-27. 2012..These results support the hypothesis that DA acts to inhibit GnRH (and LH) secretion in anestrus by suppressing the activity of ARC kisspeptin neurons...
Neurokinin B acts via the neurokinin-3 receptor in the retrochiasmatic area to stimulate luteinizing hormone secretion in sheepHeather J Billings
Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy, West Virginia University, Health Sciences Center, Morgantown, West Virginia 26506 9128, USA
Endocrinology 151:3836-46. 2010..Based on these data, and the effects of NK3R mutations in humans, we hypothesize that NKB plays an important stimulatory role in the control of GnRH and LH secretion in nonrodent species...
Estradiol negative feedback regulation by glutamatergic afferents to A15 dopaminergic neurons: variation with seasonSushma R Singh
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia 26506 9229, USA
Endocrinology 150:4663-71. 2009....
Evidence that gamma-aminobutyric acid is part of the neural circuit mediating estradiol negative feedback in anestrous ewesAdrienne L Bogusz
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia 26506 9229, USA
Endocrinology 149:2762-72. 2008..Based on these data, we propose that in anestrous ewes, E2 inhibits release of GABA from afferents to A15 DA neurons, increasing the activity of these DA neurons and thus suppressing episodic secretion of GnRH and LH...
Inhibition of luteinizing hormone secretion by localized administration of estrogen, but not dihydrotestosterone, is enhanced in the ventromedial hypothalamus during feed restriction in the young wetherChristina J McManus
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, 26506 9229, USA
Biol Reprod 73:781-9. 2005..We suggest that increased sensitivity within the VMH to E, but not to DHT, is important for suppressing LH secretion in undernourished male sheep...
Neuropeptide Y gene expression in male sheep: influence of photoperiod and testosteroneAdam Dobbins
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV 26506, USA
Neuroendocrinology 79:82-9. 2004..Our data are consistent with the idea that NPY is involved in the seasonal regulation of GnRH and LH release in the male sheep...
Effects of lipopolysaccharide on leptin transport across the blood-brain barrierNaoko Nonaka
Department of Physiology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA
Brain Res 1016:58-65. 2004..In conclusion, a single dose of LPS has long-lasting effects on the transport of serum leptin across the BBB that are likely mediated through self-inhibition and triglycerides...
