Details
Fertilization-promoting peptide (FPP), a TRH analog, was previously purified and characterized from both rabbit prostate and human semen. Nanomolar concentrations of this peptide have been shown to enhance capacitation of mouse epididymal spermatozoa with a concomitant increase in fertilizing ability. It was also detected in the thyroid gland.
According to a study of Nguyen et al. Pyr-Glu-Pro-NH₂ opposes the cholinergic effect of TRH in the mammalian CNS: Co-perfusion with an equivalent of TRH in the rat hippocampus resulted in a significant attenuation of TRH-induced acetylcholine release.
