摘要：
Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurones represent the final output neurones in the neuroendocrine system for the control of reproduction. To understand the reproductive neuroendocrine system, an investigation of the intrinsic and extrinsic properties of GnRH neurones is essential. In this review, we focus on the intrinsic properties and summarise our recent findings of ion channels expressed in rat GnRH neurones. Rat GnRH neurones express all four types of high voltage-activated Ca(2+)channel (L, N, P/Q, R) and the low voltage-activated Ca2+ channel (T). GnRH neurones also express two types of Ca2+-activated K+ [K(Ca)] channel: the small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (SK) channel and the large conductance Ca2+- and voltage-activated K+ (BK) channel. The activities of these Ca2+ and K(Ca) channels regulate cell excitability and cellular calcium homeostasis.
