Basic neuroendocrine events before puberty in cattle, sheep and pigs

Abstract: Neuroendocrine events before puberty are compared in male and female cattle, sheep and pigs. The patterns of secretion of gonadotrophin, the age-related LH responses to castration or LH-RH administration and the effects of prolonged steroid treatment give information about the maturity of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. It appears that in all three species the mechanisms involved in the expression of puberty are progressive rather than abrupt events. Some original contributions reported here, such as age-rela… Show more

“…The potential function of the ovine LHβ gene during the development of the ovine hypophysis was investigated by RT-qPCR analysis of LHβ mRNA expression in the lambs aged 0-84 days. Hypophyseal expression of LHβ mRNA in rams increased with age, reaching a peak at 70 d. Pulsatile secretion of LH has been reported to play a key role in the onset of puberty in mammals, including sheep [22,23]. Small-Tailed Han Sheep is a breed recognized for its high fecundity and precocity, with puberty occurring between 2 and 4 months of age.…”

“…For pubety to occur, there must be a fully functional hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis (HPGx) (Pelletier et al, 1981;and Camous et al, 1985). This is partially controlled by the increase in steroid hormones from the developing ovaries.…”

“…Alrededor de los 100 días de edad, y debido al establecimiento del sistema de retroalimentación negativa que ejercen los estrógenos ováricos sobre la unidad hipotálamo-hipofisaria (Christenson et al, 1985), se observa un nuevo descenso en el nivel plasmático de LH hasta niveles basales. Dicha concentración plasmática basal de LH se va a prolongar hasta, aproximadamente, los 180 días de edad (Colenbrander et al, 1977;Pelletier et al, 1981;Diekman et al, 1983;Camous et al, 1985;figura 13). A partir de dicha edad y hasta la aparición de la pubertad, la concentración plasmática de LH aumenta progresivamente debido a un incremento en su frecuencia pulsátil de secreción (Pelletier et al, 1981;Prunier et al, 1993a), incremento asociado con el desarrollo y la maduración final de los folículos (Beltranena et al, 1993) y su mayor síntesis y secreción de estrógenos.…”

La concentración plasmática de FSH se mantiene en niveles elevados desde el nacimiento de la nulípara y hasta los 70-125 días de edad.…”
