Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• Since GnRH acts as a neurotransmitter and because the pulsatile secretion of GnRH is crucial for the proper responsiveness of the pituitary gland, an efficient mechanism for rapid clearance of GnRH is necessary.
• Women who respond poorly to Pergonal alone often do better if GnRH is used as well.
• GnRH is produced by the hypothalamus, a major organ in the brain.
• Now research is focusing on what each GnRH is doing, and whether one is more important that the others.
• Pituitary synaptic protein SNAP-25 sensitive to GnRH is necessary for LH release.
