Antenatal dexamethasone treatment in midgestation reduces system A-mediated transport in the late-gestation murine placenta.

abstract：:Recent evidence indicates that endogenous GnRH is required for maintenance of its own pituitary receptors (GnRH-R). We have measured GnRH-R in pituitaries of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadal (hpg) mice, in whom hypothalamic GnRH is deficient or absent. The GnRH-R concentration in hpg male mouse pituitaries was 10.6 +/- 1...
