Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone action in the brain and pituitary
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2012.00148

Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) was first identified in the Japanese quail as a hypothalamic neuropeptide inhibitor of gonadotropin secretion. Subsequent studies have shown that GnIH is present in the brains of birds including songbi…

Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH): discovery, progress and prospect.
General and comparative endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/j.ygcen.2012.02.013

A hypothalamic neuropeptide, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), is the primary factor regulating gonadotropin secretion. An inhibitory hypothalamic neuropeptide for gonadotropin secretion was, until recently, unknown, although gonadal s…

Identification of human GnIH homologs, RFRP-1 and RFRP-3, and the cognate receptor, GPR147 in the human hypothalamic pituitary axis.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0008400

The existence of a hypothalamic gonadotropin-inhibiting system has been elusive. A neuropeptide named gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH, SIKPSAYLPLRF-NH(2)) which directly inhibits gonadotropin synthesis and release from the pituitary w…
