The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) system is well known as the main regulator of reproductive physiology in vertebrates. It is also part of a network of brain structures and pathways that integrate information from the internal and external milieu and coordinate the adaptive behavioral and physiological responses to social and reproductive survival needs. In this paper we review the state of knowledge of the GnRH system in relation to the behavior, external, and internal factors that control reproduction in one of the oldest lineage of vertebrates, the lampreys.
促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)系统是脊椎动物生殖生理学的主要调节因子,广为人知。它也是一个脑结构和神经通路网络的一部分,该网络整合来自内部和外部环境的信息,并协调对社会和生殖生存需求的适应性行为和生理反应。在本文中,我们综述了有关GnRH系统的知识现状,该系统与脊椎动物最古老谱系之一——七鳃鳗的生殖行为、外部和内部控制因素相关。
