In 2000, however, a novel hypothalamic neuropeptide that actively inhibits gonadotropin release was discovered in Japanese quail and termed gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH). Following seventeen years of research has revealed that GnIH is highly conserved across vertebrates including humans, and GnIH is involved in a number of physiological and behavioral functions related to reproduction. The aim of this e-book is to celebrate the discovery of GnIH and the progress of GnIH research by collecting review and original articles from leading scientists in this new research field.Medicinebicsscestradiolfollicle-stimulating hormonegonadotropin-inhibitory hormonegonadotropin-releasing hormonehypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axiskisspeptinluteinizing hormonemelatoninreproductiontestosteroneMedicineTakayoshi Ubukaauth1328737Kazuyoshi TsutsuiauthLance J KriegsfeldauthIshwar ParharauthBOOK9910346739303321The Roles of GnIH in Reproductive Function and Behavior3038885UNINA
