Abstract excerpt
Expression of the diabetes (db/db) mutation in C57BL/KsJ mice suppresses the female pituitary-gonadal axis via progressive cytolipidemic disruption of hypophyseal gonadotropin release, culminating in premature involution of the reproductive tract and manifest infertility. The current studies define the systemic, endocrine, cytochemical and structural apoptotic changes that result from pituitary hypercytolipidemia...
