Acute stressors can active the reproductive function depending on estrogen priming. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) has been implicated as mediator of stress-induced effects on hypothalamus–pituitary–gonadal axis (HPG), acting in the limbic system, paraventricular nucleus and noradrenergic (NA) neurons. Antalarmin and astressin2-B are selective CRH-R1 and CRH-R2 antagonists, respectively. We investigated the mediation of CRH-R1 and/or CRH-R2 receptors and of lo...
