Effects of heterologous growth hormones on hypothalamic and pituitary function in transgenic mice.

abstract：CONTEXT:Early pubertal luteinizing hormone (LH), and by inference gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), pulse secretion is marked by high nocturnal but low daytime frequency; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Plasma concentrations of progesterone, the major regulator of GnRH frequency in women, increa...
