Control of ovarian function by the immune system: commentary on the criticisms of Schenzle
Abstract:
Recent hypothesis on the participation of the immune system in the control of ovarian function is supported by new experimental data. Schenzle's oversimplified endocrine explanation of problems of ovarian function control was critically examined. It is questionable whether the neuroendocrine paradigm should not be revised in the light of the modulating role of the immune system in the ovarian function control.

Oogenesis
Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH release.
Ovarian Cycle
Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
