Molecular characterization and regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and its receptor mRNA in the human ovary

With the recent detection of GnRH and its receptor (GnRH-R) in numerous extrapituitary tissues, it is hypothesized that GnRH acts as an autocrine/paracrine regulator of ovarian function.
