When you are too thin or lack nutrition, the hypothalamus secretes less of a hormone, called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which plays a central role in your cycle. This leads to what is ...

A high-resolution spatial map of the human hypothalamus makes it possible to identify specific cells, determine their exact location and analyze their neighboring cells. The cell atlas ...

Tumors in the pituitary gland or hypothalamus can also cause precocious puberty. A similar disorder is pseudo-precocious puberty in which estrogen and testosterone are secreted by tumors in the ...

We determined whether neural connections between the kidneys and the hypothalamus can explain the compensatory increase in glucose production. In addition, we performed plasma proteomics analyses to ...

It produces a hormone instructing the pituitary gland to secrete two essential hormones: luteinizing (LH) and follicle-stimulating (FSH). A dysfunctional hypothalamus or pituitary gland can ...

The hypothalamus secretes the hypothalamic GnRH, which can effectively regulate the pituitary gonadotropin, thus improving and regulating the ovarian function; the ovarian gonadotropin secretion can ...

These hormones are crucial in regulating spermatogenesis, making them central to our approach. The hypothalamus secretes GnRH, which triggers the pituitary gland to secrete FSH and LH. In the testicle ...

The third ventricle, a funnel-shaped cavity between the brain's two hemispheres, helps to produce and secrete cerebrospinal fluid. The hypothalamus has many functions, the primary being to release ...
