Abstract:

Central regulatory mechanisms of female reproduction are discussed in this review. Authors stressed on the significance of physiological pulsative activity of gonadoliberin-secreting neurons. Role of stimulatory effect of kisspeptin on pubertat start and cyclical activity of reproduction is disassembled. For the first time in Russia data on gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone and mechanism of its action is presented. Knowledge of central regulative mechanisms of female reproduction can help practical doctors to understand better the pathogenesis of different gynecological pathology.

Keywords:

female reproductive system
gonadoliberin
kisspeptin
gonadotropininhibitory hormone
