Abstract
⺠Rana esculenta brain expresses two GnRH molecular forms and three GnRH receptors at least. ⺠The endocannabinoid anandamide decreases GnRH-I and GnRH-II expression. ⺠Anandamide upregulates GnRHR-I and GnRHR-II expression. ⺠Besides GnRH-I, it is shown for the first time that endocannabinoids modulate GnRH-II activity in vertebrates.
