Daily GnRH and LH secretion in ewes is not modified by exogenous melatonin during seasonal anestrus

100%

nr 4

289-297

The effect of central, short-term melatonin administration on daily GnRH and LH secretion was studied in ewes during seasonal anestrus. Melatonin, in a total dose of 32 g and the vehicle were perfused for 4 hours into the mediobasal hypothalamus/median eminence (MBH/ME). The mean GnRH concentration during perfusion with melatonin decreased significantly (P0.05), as compared to the concentration during the preceding perfusion with the vehicle only. This change resulted from high variations in GnRH concentration noted during the initial phase of perfusion rather than from an action of melatonin. Melatonin perfused into the MBH/ME did not significantly affect LH secretion. A higher dose of melatonin and vehicle were also infused intracerebroventricularly (icv.) in either intact (300 g for 3 hours) or ovariectomized (OVX) ewes (400 g for 4 hours, 100 g/100 l/h). In the intact animals, melatonin did not significantly affect LH secretion. Interestingly, melatonin significantly decreased (P0.05) the number of LH peaks in OVX ewes. These results demonstrate that melatonin delivered for a few hours directly into the central nervous system did not affect either daily hypothalamic GnRH release or pituitary LH secretion in intact ewes during seasonal anestrus, but did modify pulsatile LH secretion in ewes deprived of the negative feedback of estradiol.

Stress and nutritional influences on GnRH and somatostatin neuronal system in the ewe

nr 3

797-806

The efect of stressful stimulation and protein malnutration on the gonadotrophic and somatotrophic axis of sheep is discussed with special references to the relatioship between these stimuli and the GnRH and somatostatin neuronal system in the hypothalmus.Generally, long-term stimulation and chronic underfeeding reduce gonadal functions in the sheep.There is evidence for the GnRH-dependent pathway for the mechanism of these phenomena in femle sheep.GnRh neurons respond to long-term stress in diminishing of neuropeptide release from the nerve terminals due to the depression of its axonal transport.Chronic restriction of dietary proteins in lambs reduces the plasma LH concentration but does not impair the development of GnRH neurons nor the synthesis and processing of GnRH.It is suggested that malnutrition delays the first ovulation probably due to the neural mechanism responsible for the preovulatory GnRH/LH output.Stress has rather unclear effect on growth hormone (GH) secretion in the sheep.Prolonged, but not short stressful stimulation provokes the rapid release of somatostatin, which is sustained during long-term stimulation.These results suggest that effect of stress on somatotrophic axis depends on the period of stressful stimulation.VChronic malnutrition enhances secretion of GH by an increse in amplitude of GH pulses and reduces the secretory activity of somatostatin neurons.It is postulated that nutrients can influence GH secretion in the sheep by mechanism dependent on the hypothalmic somatostatin.
