Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone in human pituitary blood. 1978

J L Antunes, and P W Carmel, and E M Housepian, and M Ferin

Luteinizing hormone (LH) and LH-releasing hormone (LHRH) were measured by radioimmunoassay in blood samples collected from the pituitary gland during transsphenoidal surgery in 19 patients. Detectable levels of LHRH were present in 12 patients. Wide fluctuations of LHRH were seen in sequential samples collected at 10-minute intervals, suggesting a pulsatile mode of release. This technique may yield useful data on hypothalamic control of pituitary secretion.

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.
