Clinical signs due to a hypothalamic dysfunction.
Decresaed synthesis and release of GnRH means that the pituitary is not stimulated to release FSH or LH at normal levels. Clincally seen as:
*Small, atrophic genitals.
*Feminisation in the male due to lower testosterone release.
Hypothalamus damage also allows incresaed appetite and the animal will be:
*Obese.
*Excess deposition of sub-cut fat.
Compression of local structures also leads to:
*Mental retartdation.
*Diabetes insipidus.
*Visual impairment.
