Abstract
This short review discusses the gonadotropin-releasing hormone ‘pulse generator’ in the female rhesus monkey and the important modulatory role which the endogenous opioid peptides exert in the control of its activity. Also discussed is the modulation of opioid peptide release by ovarian steroids and corticotropin-releasing hormone.Keywords
