The effects of intracerebroventricular (icv) infusion of four neuropeptides on female sexual behavior were examined in the female musk shrew (Suncus murinus). In the first experiment, (icv) infusion of 100 ng of the mammalian form of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (mGnRH) facilitated rapid display of receptivity. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone-infused females had shorter latencies to rump present and tail wag, compared with controls. In a second experiment, icv administration of the other form…

Role of gonadotropin-releasing hormone II in the mammalian nervous system
TLDR
Although it is unlikely to be a primary regulator of gonadotropin release, GnRH II appears to have a wide array of physiological and behavioral functions, and increasing evidence suggests that the behavioral effects of Gn RH II are mediated by receptor subtypes distinct from the type-1 GnRH receptor.
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone II stimulates female sexual behavior in marmoset monkeys.
TLDR
Findings implicate a role for GnRH II and the cognate GnRH type II receptor in stimulating female marmoset sexual behavior and alter the frequency of proceptive behaviors.
A critical role for the evolutionarily conserved gonadotropin-releasing hormone II: mediation of energy status and female sexual behavior.
TLDR
It is speculated that GnRH-II acts via its own receptor as a regulatory signal in mammals to ensure that reproduction is synchronized with energetically favorable conditions.
Facilitation of lordosis in rats by a metabolite of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone.
TLDR
A role for LHRH metabolites in the facilitation of female receptive behavior in rats is suggested, similar to those facilitated by the decapeptide L HRH, in ovariectomized estradiol-primed female rats.
Neuroendocrine Regulation of GnRH Release in Induced Ovulators
TLDR
A complete understanding of the neuroendocrine control of ovulation will only be achieved by comparative studies of several animal model systems in which mating-induced as well as spontaneous, hormonally stimulated activation of GnRH neurons drives the preovulatory LH surge.
Disinhibition of female sexual behavior by a CRH receptor antagonist in Syrian hamsters.
TLDR
First direct evidence that CRH receptor signaling may be a final common pathway by which undernutrition and other conditions inhibit female sexual behavior is found.
Corticotropin-releasing factor receptor subtypes mediating nutritional suppression of estrous behavior in Syrian hamsters.
TLDR
The most parsimonious interpretation of these findings is that, although NPY inhibits estrous behavior via downstream CRFR2 signaling, food deprivation may exert its inhibition via both CRFR1 andCRFR2 and that redundant neuropeptide systems may be involved.
Glucocorticoids affect gonadotropin-releasing hormone immunoreactivity in musk shrew brain.
TLDR
It was found that musk shrews treated with dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic glucocorticoid, had more GnRH-immunoreactive (ir) cells in the forebrain than did cortisol- or control-treated animals.
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone 2 suppresses food intake in the zebrafish, Danio rerio
TLDR
Results suggest that, in zebrafish, GnRH2 acts as an anorexigenic factor, as is the case in goldfish.

Central Administration of Chicken Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone-II Enhances Courtship Behavior in a Female Sparrow
TLDR
A behavioral role for cGNRH-II that may be independent of cGnRH-I is suggested, which appears to maintain the level of solicitation seen at 30 min after infusion.
Interactions with males promote rapid changes in gonadotropin-releasing hormone immunoreactive cells.
It is well known that hormones can regulate behaviors. However, the reciprocal interaction, the effects of behavior on hormones, has received less direct experimental attention. Dramatic changes in…
Stimulation of LH secretion in sheep by central administration of corticotrophin-releasing hormone.
TLDR
It is concluded that, contrary to the hypothesized role of CRH as an inhibitor of reproductive activity, this neuropeptide stimulates pulsatile LH (and thus GnRH) secretion, at least in this species.
Differential Effects of Arginine Vasotocin and Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone on Sexual Behaviors in an Anuran Amphibian
TLDR
Results suggest that specific sexual behaviors in B. cognatus may be under the regulation of independent peptide control, and that AVT-induced calling could be inhibited by Manning compound.
Corticotropin-releasing factor is a potent inhibitor of sexual receptivity in the female rat
TLDR
The first evidence for neurally placed CRF in the control of a specific hormone-dependent behavioural response is provided and an extremely potent suppressive effect of CRF is demonstrated on sexual behaviour in the female rat when microinfused into the arcuate–ventromedial area of the hypothalamus and the mesencephalic central grey.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone-immunoreactive cell numbers change in response to social interactions.
TLDR
These rapid and quantitative responses of GnRH-ir neurons to social cues allow direct examination of the neuroendocrine changes that occur at puberty.

TLDR
Data suggest that the phylogenetically conserved cGnRH-II form is regulated by ovarian hormones and, thus, may be involved in the brain-pituitary-gonadal feedback axis.
