How Does The GnRH Neurol Network Work During The Juvenile Phase?
Question: Hello , i want to know about gnrh neurol network during juvenile pause - i read many online stidies stating that this system is not completely abolished, its instead 'heavily inhibited'.
Kindly could you advise?
Kindly could you advise?
Brief Answer:
GnRH from juvenile to adult phase starts puberty.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for using HCM.
GnRH is released in a pulsatile fashion during the first year of life and there is a decrease ( juvenile phase) of the amount released into bloodstream till puberty ( adult phase of GnRH neurons).
Increase GnRH of amount results in puberty.
There is no complete absence of GnRH secretion during the lifetime of a person, there is only change of the amplitude and frequency of GnRH release into bloodstream.
This pulsatile release pattern is controlled by hypothalamus.
Hope this helps. If you have further questions feel free to ask.

Thanks Dr. Spaho for the valued advice,
You mentioned Gnrh decreases in juvenile phase. Why doesnt it become completely absent during this phase of life?
Is there a logical/scientific reason why it needs to continue ?

Brief Answer:
GnRH is produced by neurons.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for asking back.
Yours is a very interesting point of view.
Logically and scientifically it is impossible GnRH to be absent in the juvenile phase because GnRH is produced by neurons and neurons are formed only once since the intrauterine life ( since life begins).
Neurons are not substituted during life and once they gain and start their function, it lasts as long as neuron lasts.
Their function can only slowed down by physiological or pathological mechanisms, but cannot be stopped entirely.
Hope this helps. Best regards.
