Perimenopause, the period of transition from reproductive to non-reproductive life, is the period of greater vulnerability of women to depression. There is no consensus on a possible correlation between depression and hormonal changes at this time, but most authors did not find a correlation with estrogen plasma concentrations. In fact, despite the fluctuation of these hormone levels, mea…
During the visit we will begin work on 4 studies: 1. Basic science 1. Develop a new high throughput behavioral model of PMS in female rats for use in screening drugs with potential to alleviate symptoms of PMS in women. Lovick will work with the collaborators to design the experimental protocols, to be carried out by the student. Once the experimental work begins, Lovick will work closely…
Despite the prevalence of mood disorders in women, the vast majority of studies in animal models is developed in males (Zucker & Beery, 2010). The prevalence of depression in women is 21% and in men 13% (Kessler et al., 1993), suggesting the involvement of sex hormones in the pathophysiology of mood disorders. After puberty, when the monthly fluctuations in the concentrations of ovarian h…

Perimenopause, a transition period that precedes menopause, is characterized by neuroendocrine, metabolic and behavioral changes. These changes may be result of ovarian failure and consequent reduction of number of follicles, which may lead to the emergence of many symptoms. In this period, women experience episodes of irritability and aggressiveness, which can be related to the hormonal …

The hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator is the key element that governs ovarian ciclicity in mammals. The GnRH pulse generator, located within the medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) to the region of the arcuate nucleus (ARC), governs intermittent GnRH discharges into the pituitary portal circulation and thereby regulates pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) relea…
