Treatment of hypothalamic infertility with pulsatile GN-RH administration. 1984

R Turla, and D Dordoni, and L Falsetti, and U Omodei, and P Scagliola

In this study the Authors have obtained an ovulatory response using intravenous Gn-RH treatment in four patients with hypothalamic hypogonadotropic amenorrhea. The Gn-RH was administered in a pulsatile manner with a small portable autoinfusion pump (Autosyringe, Inc., Hooksett). The ovarian follicular maturation, as it appears from the pelvic echography, was perfectly similar to that observed in a spontaneous ovulatory cycle. Endocrine picture by serial determination of gonadotropin; prolactin, estradiol and progesterone concentrations showed hormone values to be in the normal range. During the therapy no complications were observed; at the present time no pregnancy has occurred.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007030 Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal System A collection of NEURONS, tracts of NERVE FIBERS, endocrine tissue, and blood vessels in the HYPOTHALAMUS and the PITUITARY GLAND. This hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal circulation provides the mechanism for hypothalamic neuroendocrine (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES) regulation of pituitary function and the release of various PITUITARY HORMONES into the systemic circulation to maintain HOMEOSTASIS.

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.
