As a result, the receptor-mediated transport of leptin through the BBB is reduced, which leads to a decrease in the intrahypothalamic leptin level and to a weakening of the regulatory effects of leptin on hypothalamic neurons and GnRH secretion (Figure 1). The regulatory effects of the plasma, pituitary and testicular leptin on the male HPG axis and the testosterone synthesis in the testes in the norm and in the metabolic disorders. The regulation of the HPG axis by adipokines can be carried out both through the changes the plasma levels of adipokines (a systemic regulation) and through the changes in the expression and activity of adipokines in the pituitary and testes, the components of the HPG axis (an autonomous regulation). Similarly, if profound and unexplained fatigue persists despite optimized testosterone levels, a more complete evaluation of pituitary function may be worthwhile. Higher pre-natal testosterone indicated by a low digit ratio as well as adult testosterone levels increased risk of fouls or aggression among male players in a soccer game. The same research found fathers (outside competitive environments) had the lowest testosterone levels compared to other males.
Pharmacological inhibition of MC3R and MC4R by the antagonist SHU9119 decreases the expression of kisspeptin by 45%. In the hypothalamic ARC, the outgrowths of POMC-neurons form the contacts with the bodies of KNDy-neurons, and a release of α-MSH by POMC-neurons causes a rapid depolarization of KNDy-neurons. In accordance with this, in the first stage the melanocortin peptides secreted by POMC-neurons interact with MCR located on the KNDy-neurons.
Should we be looking at other pituitary hormones given my symptoms, or is this an isolated finding in an otherwise stable picture? These symptoms could point to a structural issue, such as a pituitary adenoma, that exists independently of hormone therapy. For a man who is not using any form of exogenous testosterone or other hormone therapy, low or undetectable LH and FSH deserve closer attention. When a lab reports a value at zero, it generally means the hormone level is too low for the specific test to measure, not necessarily that there is a literal absence of every molecule in the bloodstream. The hypothalamus detects elevated circulating testosterone and concludes there is no need to keep signaling the pituitary. This entire feedback loop is called the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, or HPG axis, and it is one of the most elegantly self-regulating systems in the body.
As FSH levels drop, the surrounding follicles develop a more androgen-rich environment. FSH stimulates aromatase activity in granulosa cells, converting androgens to estrogen. This increase in inhibin B, along with rising estrogen levels, contributes to the suppression of FSH secretion, which is critical for the selection of a single dominant follicle. As previously stated, during the follicular phase, estrogen and LH levels rise, and entry into the luteal phase does not occur unless a surge in these hormones occurs up to a certain threshold. Additionally, the effects of these hormones on GnRH secretion can vary depending on the stage of the estrous cycle, nutritional status, and other physiological factors.
However, taking into account the high density of the truncated isoform Ob-Ra of leptin receptor on the surface of endothelial cells forming the BTB, there is reason to believe that, like the BBB, leptin transport through the BTB is also a receptor-dependent . At the same time, in the in vivo conditions, leptin increases LH level, but does not affect the secretion of FSH . The sensitivity of gonadotrophs to leptin is indicated by the fact that this adipokine at relatively low concentrations, 10−9 and 10−11 M, stimulates the LH and FSH secretion in the hemi-anterior pituitaries of adult male rats. The gene Ob-R encoding leptin receptor is expressed in a large number of gonadotrophs, and this suggests that these cells are the main target for leptin 8, 37, 67, 68, 74. It is shown that leptin influences the production of gonadotropins, changing the GnRH receptor activity and, thereby, controlling the sensitivity of gonadotrophs to hypothalamic regulation .. Adiponectin inhibits both the basal and GnRH-stimulated LH secretion, and its effect is detected even after a short exposure with gonadotrophs 14, 144.|We evaluated the composition and advertised claims of "T boosting" supplements, and supporting published evidence. A zero LH on a man who is producing abundant testosterone through an exogenous source is not the same finding as a zero LH on a man with no hormonal explanation. The hypothalamus has received the signal, the pituitary has responded accordingly, and the feedback loop is intact. A specialist in men's health or hormone optimization can also help bridge the gap if your primary care provider is uncomfortable managing these results. What specifically concerns you about this result given that I am on exogenous testosterone? Certain medications can also interact with or independently suppress the HPG axis, so a full medication review with your provider is always a sound practice. These options exist and are used regularly in the context of hormone optimization.}
