Cellular and humoral pathways in the neuroendocrine regulation of reproductive function

T C Anand Kumar. J Reprod Fertil Suppl. 1973 Dec.

Abstract

PIP: Studies carried out in recent years, including those conducted by the author on the rhesus monkey, which have added more information on the possible cellular and humoral pathways by which the neural and endocrine functions concerned with reproductive phenomena are integrated are reviewed. The possible involvement of the circumventricular structures, especially the tanycyte ependyma and the pineal gland in the detection of the endogenous levels of gonadal hormones, and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the transmission of hormonal information to the various parts of the brain indicated further areas of research to be explored. Such exploration should be conducted in diverse, yet complimentary, disciplines so that the whole spectrum of events known to occur in the neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction can be studied.
