Abstract excerpt
The circadian clocks within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis control estrous cycles in female rodents. The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), where the central clock is located, generates daily signals to trigger surge release of luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn induces ovulation. It has been observed in aged rodents that output from the SCN such as neuronal firing activity is declined, and estrous...
