Brief description Gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH) is a short peptide of 8 amino acids that is produced by the brain and acts in a negative manner on brain and pituitary cells that control reproduction. This project aims to elucidate the role of GnIH in normal physiology and in states of stress and negative metabolic state. Work will be carried out in various species to define the function of the peptide and also to investigate ways that it can be utilised to prevent reproduction.
