GnRH increases glucose transporter-1 expression and stimulates glucose uptake in the gonadotroph

GnRH is the main regulator of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (H–P–G) axis. GnRH stimulates the pituitary gonadotroph to synthesize and secrete gonadotrophins (LH and FSH), and this effect of GnRH is dependent on the availability of glucose and other nutrients. Little is known about whether GnRH regulates glucose metabolism in the gonadotroph. This study examined the regulation of glucose transporters ( Gluts ) by GnRH in the LβT2 gonadotroph...
