Estradiol Enables Chronic Corticosterone to Inhibit Pulsatile Luteinizing Hormone Secretion and Suppress Kiss1 Neuronal Activation in Female Mice

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Two common responses to stress include elevated circulating glucocorticoids and impaired luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. We have previously shown that a chronic stress level of corticosterone can impair ovarian cyclicity in intact mice by preventing follicular-phase endocrine events. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> This study is aimed at investigating if corticosterone can...
