Abstract：
:GABA has been shown to play an important role in the control of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone secretion in many mammals. In sheep, seasonal differences in the ability of GABA-B receptor antagonists to alter pulsatile luteinizing hormone secretion have led to the hypothesis that this receptor subtype mediates the increased inhibitory effects of estradiol on GnRH and luteinizing hormone pulse frequency seen during the non-breeding season (anestrus). The aim of the present study was to use multiple-label immunocytochemistry to determine if ovine GnRH neurons contain the GABA-B receptor subunits R1 and/or R2, and to determine whether there are seasonal differences in the colocalization of these subunits in GnRH neurons. A majority of GnRH cells in the preoptic area, anterior hypothalamic area, and medial basal hypothalamus of both breeding season and anestrous ewes contained either GABA-B R1 or R2 subunits; a subset of GnRH neurons in breeding season (42%) and anestrous ewes (60%) contained both subunits. In contrast to colocalization within cell bodies, GnRH fibers in the median eminence did not colocalize GABA-B receptor subunits. Although the percentage of GnRH neurons expressing GABA-B receptor subunits tended to be higher in anestrus than in the breeding season, there were no significant seasonal differences in R1 and R2 subunit colocalization in GnRH cell bodies. Thus, while GABA may act directly on GnRH cell bodies via GABA-B receptors in the sheep, any role that GABA-B receptors may play in seasonal reproductive changes is likely mediated by other neurons afferent to GnRH cells.
