The LHRH pulse generator in the New Zealand white rabbit
Abstract
dc:descriptionIn my dissertation, I have studied the in vivo activity of the LHRH pulse generator in the rabbit, a reflex ovulator, using a push-pull cannulae (PPC) procedure that allows the detection of the release of this neuropeptide from the hypothalamus of freely behaving animals. The present thesis examines the normal activity of the LHRH pulse generator in the male and female rabbit in vivo as well as the influence of the following internal and external cues which regulate the LHRH pulse generator: steroids, sexual stimuli, and seasonal influences.
