Harlow, K. L., Griesgraber, M. J., Seman, A. D., Shuping, S. L., Sommer, J. R., Griffith, E. H., … Nestor, C. C. (2022, April 1). Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Vol. 5.

By: K. Harlow n , M. Griesgraber *, A. Seman*, S. Shuping n, J. Sommer n, E. Griffith n , S. Hileman *, C. Nestor n 

author keywords: dynorphin; kisspeptin; LH; neurokinin B; undernutrition; xxxx; fx1
MeSH headings : Animals; Arcuate Nucleus of Hypothalamus / metabolism; Body Weight; Dynorphins / metabolism; Female; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / metabolism; Kisspeptins / metabolism; Malnutrition / metabolism; Neurokinin B / metabolism; Neurons / metabolism; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Sheep
topics (OpenAlex): Hypothalamic control of reproductive hormones; Genetic and Clinical Aspects of Sex Determination and Chromosomal Abnormalities; Sperm and Testicular Function
TL;DR: The idea that KNDy neurons are important for regulating reproduction during undernutrition in female sheep is supported, as lower mRNA abundance for kisspeptin within K NDy neurons of FR lambs compared to controls with no significant change in mRNA for NKB or dynorphin is observed.

Kisspeptin, Neurokinin B, and Dynorphin Expression during Pubertal Development in Female Sheep

Aerts, E. G., Harlow, K. L., Griesgraber, M. J., Bowdridge, E. C., Hardy, S. L., Nestor, C. C., & Hileman, S. M. (2021, September 30). Biology, Vol. 10.

By: E. Aerts *, K. Harlow n , M. Griesgraber *, E. Bowdridge *, S. Hardy*, C. Nestor n , S. Hileman *

author keywords: kisspeptin; neurokinin B; dynorphin; puberty; sheep; LH
topics (OpenAlex): Hypothalamic control of reproductive hormones; Plant Reproductive Biology; Ovarian function and disorders
TL;DR: It is concluded that puberty-associated increases in GnRH and LH secretion occur without significant changes in KNDy peptide expression and suggest that, while critical, KNDY neurons await inputs from other neural systems to trigger puberty onset. (via Semantic Scholar)

PSVII-16 Effects of genetic selection for early puberty on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis in gilts

Harlow, K. L., Renwick, A., Shuping, S., Sommer, J., Knauer, M., & Nestor, C. (2020, November 2). Journal of Animal Science, Vol. 98, pp. 212–212.

author keywords: puberty; gilt; neuroendocrine
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Nutrition and Physiology; Reproductive Physiology in Livestock
TL;DR: It is concluded that gilts genetically selected for early puberty do so via changes within the hypothalamus that increase gonadotropin secretion and, in turn, stimulate ovarian growth to ultimately advance the timing of puberty onset. (via Semantic Scholar)
