The pituitary effects of GnRH.
Advances in our understanding of the complexity of GnRH actions at the pituitary and the various mechanisms involved in mediating differential LH and FSH biosynthesis and secretion at the gonadotrope, are continually emerging. In this review, we summarise recent studies pertaining to GnRH and GnRH receptor phylogeny, the divergent signalling and trafficking pathways initiated and utilised by GnRH and its receptor, and the pathways that mediate gonadotropin secretion from the gonadotrope.
