ABSTRACT

Pulsatile secretion of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) by the hipothalamus and its action on the pituitary gland is a complex process involving many pre and post natal events. For example, migration of GnRH neurons from the olfactory placode, GnRH release and signalling, normal anterior pituitary development and function are all needed to allow GnRH to stimulate pulsaltile pituitary secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and liteinizing hormone (LH). Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism can be the result of absent or inadequate GnRH secretion or action. Abnormalities in gonadotropin hormone release and function can arise from mutations in a variety of genes implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is continually growing. A given genotype at a single locus cannot reliably predict the phenotypic manifestations in any given member of affected families. Thus, the identification and characterization of these mutations are providing important information about the reproductive axis in humans and may result in improved treatment and counselling for patients with infertility.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un seguimiento por doce meses en una cohorte de 17 mujeres, a partir de la resolución del embarazo para tratar de valorar la asociación hiperprolactinemia lactacional/hormonas estimulante de folículo (FSH)/hormona luteinizante (LH) y reinicio de la actividad ovárica. El estudio se dividió en dos fases: Lactancia (Lac) y post-lactancia (post-Lac). En ambas etapas se tomaron muestras de sangre venosa periférica cada semana hasta la semana 52, para cuantificar: FSH, LH, prolactina (PRL) y estradiol (E-2). Durante Lac, las concentraciones periféricas del PRL, fueron significativamente mayores a Post-Lac; observándose una relación inversamente proporcional E-2/PRL a lo largo del seguimiento. No existieron cambios significativos para LH y FSH en ambas fases y las cifras se mantuvieron dentro de niveles fisiológicos. Al compararlas con un sujeto control no mostraron diferencias. Los coeficientes de correlación revelaron una asociación negativa entre PRL y los días que transcurrieron al postparto y positiva para E-2. Los hallazgos indican una función folicular, aparentemente independiente del estímulo gonadotrópico hipofisario

ABSTRACT

Serum follicle stimulating hormone [FSH], luteinizing hormone [LH], testosterone and prolactin levels in relation to histopathological appearance were studied in 32 azoospermic men. Histologically, they were classified into four groups; normal[25%], sertoli-cell-only syndrome [28.1%], maturation arrest [25%] and focal tubular atrophy [21.8%]. In azoospermic men with normal histological findings, gonadotropins and testosterone levels were within the normal values. In other groups associated with histological changes, gonadotropins were significantly raised. Testosterone had a significant lower levels than normal in cases of maturation arrest. Prolactin levels were normal in all azoospermic men. These findings suggested the importance of hormonal determination for evaluation and management of male infertility

ABSTRACT

Usando radioinmunoensayo detectamos inmunoreactividad positiva para la hormona liberadora de las gonadotrofinas (GnRH-ir) en extratos de techo áptico (TO), cerebelo (CER) y tallo cerebral (TC) del caribe colorado, Pygocentrus notatus.P. notatus, al igual que la mayoría de los peces de la zona posee un ciclo reproductivo estrechamente ligado a los cambios en las condiciones medioambientales. Nuestros resultados muestran una correlación entre la maduración gonadal expresada como Indice Gonosomático (IG) y el comienzo de las lluvias (abril-mayo) en hembras y machos de esta especie. Asimismo, en las hembras se observaron flutuaciones en los niveles de GnRH-ir en extractos de TO y CER, dependientes del estadío reproductivo y de las condiciones medioambientales. Por el contrario, en los machos no se observaron cambios excepto en TO, donde se observó un aumento durante mayo
