Abstract excerpt
Chronic GnRH treatment causes homologous desensitization by reducing GnRH receptor and Gq/11 expression and by down-regulating protein kinase C (PKC), cAMP, and calcium-dependent signaling. It also causes heterologous desensitization of other Gq-coupled receptors, but the mechanisms involved remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the effect of constitutive activation of Gq signaling on GnRH-induced...
