Until 2000 it was believed that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) was the sole regulator of hypophyseal gonadotropes. In 2000, the discovery of a gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH) initiated a revolution in the field of reproductive physiology. Identification of GnIH homologues in mammals, the arginine-phenylalanine-amide (RFamide)-related peptides (RFRPs), indicated a similar function. Subsequently, further works conducted in various laboratories worldwide have shown that these neuropeptides inhibit the hypothalamic-hypophyseal axis. This review discusses the role of RFRPs in mammalian reproductive processes.
直到2000年,人们一直认为促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)是垂体促性腺细胞的唯一调节因子。2000年,促性腺激素抑制激素(GnIH)的发现引发了生殖生理学领域的一场革命。在哺乳动物中鉴定出GnIH的同源物,即精氨酸-苯丙氨酸-酰胺(RFamide)相关肽(RFRP),表明它们具有相似的功能。随后,世界各地不同实验室开展的进一步研究表明,这些神经肽会抑制下丘脑-垂体轴。本文综述了RFRP在哺乳动物生殖过程中的作用。
