Reproductive complications after stroke: long-lasting impairment of GnRH neuronal network?

Biol Reprod. 2022 Apr 26:ioac080. doi: 10.1093/biolre/ioac080. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSome studies have demonstrated that stroke may increase the risk of pregnancy complications and early menopause. In addition, preclinical investigations revealed the middle cerebral artery occlusion could affect hypothalamus. Since hypothalamus is the core of central circuits regulating reproductive processes, impairment of hypothalamic GnRH neuronal network following stroke might be manifested in long-lasting reproductive disorders.PMID:35470856 | DOI:10.1093/biolre/ioac080
