Estrogen has multifaceted effects on the hypothalamus that regulate a number of homeostatic functions including reproduction, temperature, energy balance, stress, and motivated behaviors
Estradiol, NMDA receptors, and GnRH neurons interact to result in reproductive aging
Metab
Today we are confronted by at least two nuclear ERs, ERα and ERβ, and a number of
Estrogen and progesterone circulate in
It helps produce hormones that regulate heart rate, body temperature, hunger, and the sleep-wake cycle

Like estradiol, GLP-1 acts on receptors at the hypothalamus
In both sexes, the hypothalamus monitors and causes the release of hormones from the pituitary gland

Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone - acts on the pituitary gland causing the release of hormones in response to stress
In many cases, the hormones released from the target gland act back on the pituitary and/or hypothalamus, repressing further hormone release from both organs and thereby shutting off the system
Estrogen has multifaceted effects on the hypothalamus that regulate a number of homeostatic functions including reproduction, temperature, energy balance, stress, and motivated behaviors
Thus, acting through a peripheral or a central action, E2 activates brown fat activity and increases body temperature, which is
It is a central driver of the stress hormone system known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a glycoprotein hormone that is co-secreted along with follicle-stimulating hormone by the gonadotrophin cells in the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary)
Treatments can include: Surgery or radiation for tumors
Estrogen plays an important role in the regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis, but the neuroendocrine pathways and the role of estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes involved in specific aspects of this interaction remain unknown
7 Hypothalamus–Pituitary Complex The hypothalamus region lies inferior and anterior to the thalamus
