I’Anson H, Sundling LA, Roland SM, Ritter S (2003) Immunotoxic destruction of distinct catecholaminergic neuron populations disrupts the reproductive response to glucoprivation in female rats. Endocrinology 144(10):4325-4331. doi: 10.1210/en.2003-0258
Summary: The authors hypothesized that hindbrain catcholamine neurons suppressed estrous cycles during chronic glucoprivation as an extension of their role in glucoprivic feeding. 42-ng bilateral injections of anti-DBH-SAP (Cat. #IT-03) were made into the paraventricular nucleus of female rats. Lesioned rats demonstrated inhibition of reproductive function during chronic glucose deficit, but not when a normal amount of glucose was available.
