To examine the role of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the first luteinizing hormone (LH) surge of puberty, the effect of passive immunoneutralization of NPY with antiserum against NPY (anti-NPY) injected centrally (third ventricle) or peripherally (jugular vein) was studied in pubertal female rats on the day of first proestrus. Both peripheral and central anti-NPY administration reduced the magnitude of the LH surge during the afternoon of first proestrus; however, the central route of administration appeared to be most effective. Centrally administered anti-NPY also reduced the magnitude of proestrous LH-releasing hormone (LHRH) release into pituitary portal blood in these rats. These results suggest that endogenous NPY plays a facilitatory role in the generation of the LHRH surge necessary for preovulatory gonadotropin release and puberty.

D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

D009478 Neuropeptide Y A 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons. It has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity and regulates local blood flow, glandular secretion, and smooth muscle activity. The peptide also stimulates feeding and drinking behavior and influences secretion of pituitary hormones.
