Deletion of Otx2 in GnRH Neurons Results in a Mouse Model of Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism
25 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
GnRH is the central regulator of reproductive function responding to central nervous system cues to control gonadotropin synthesis and secretion. GnRH neurons originate in the olfactory placode and migrate to the forebrain, in which they are found in a scattered distribution.
