* Leptin receptors are found in the liver, kidney, heart, skeletal muscles, pancreas, anterior pituitary gland and hypothalamus.

* Leptin may be a signal that notifies GnRH neurons directly that nutritional status is adequate because a threshold 'fatness' has been achieved. Leptin may also signal to GnRH neurons indirectly via stimulation of neuropeptide Y, which in turn stimulates GnRH neurons.

* Blood glucose stimulate glucose sensing neurons.
* Glucose sensing neurons stimulate GnRH neurons to produce GnRH.
