Abstract excerpt
The decapeptide hypothalamic-pituitary gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-I and the type I GnRH receptor drive the reproductive hormonal cascade in mammals by stimulating synthesis and secretion of luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Mammals possess a second GnRH system composed of a related hormone, GnRH-II (differing from GnRH-I by three amino acid residues), and the type II...
