Glutamatergic and GABAergic regulation of luteinizing hormone -releasing hormone neurons
Estradiol (E2) stimulates luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) synthesis and release from neurons in the preoptic area (POA). Stimulatory effects of E2 on LHRH neurons are critical for preovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone (LH). The neural mechanisms mediating these events are unclear. G...
