Biosynthesis of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH) in the rat hypothalamus. 1977

K Kochman, and H Kochman, and E Domański

The biosynthesis of LH-RH was followed and evaluated in the hypothalamus of intact and castrated female rats after the infusion into the 3rd cerebral ventricle of L-3H-Glycine and its incorporation into the synthetized hormone. Incorporation of 3H-Gly into the LH--RH molecule that means biosynthesis of this hormone was found 30 min after the infusion of labeled amino acid. The incorporation rate in castrated animals was 2 times higher than in intact ones. Estradiol-17 beta only slightly depressed the LH--RH biosynthesis rate in castrated animals. Pretreatment with cycloheximide or puromycin decreased biosynthesis rate of the hormone by 50%. On the basis of cycloheximide and puromycin action it is suggested that the ribosomes are involved in the biosynthesis of LH--RH.

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.
