Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Hormone

Ernst Knobil mainly focuses on Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Luteinizing hormone, Hormone and Menstrual cycle. All of his Endocrinology and Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, Gonadotropin secretion, Pituitary gland, Hypothalamus and Ovariectomized rat investigations are sub-components of the entire Endocrinology study. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Primate and Internal medicine.

Particularly relevant to Follicle-stimulating hormone is his body of work in Luteinizing hormone. In the field of Hormone, his study on Castration overlaps with subjects such as Luteinizing hormone secretion. His Menstrual cycle research includes elements of Menstruation, Plasma levels, Corticosterone and Plasma progesterone.

His most cited work include:

  • The Physiology of reproduction (7534 citations)
  • Hypophysial responses to continuous and intermittent delivery of hypopthalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (1141 citations)
  • The neuroendocrine control of the menstrual cycle. (1072 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Ernst Knobil mostly deals with Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Luteinizing hormone, Hormone and Menstrual cycle. His study in Estrogen, Follicle-stimulating hormone, Gonadotropin secretion, Luteal phase and Ovulation falls under the purview of Internal medicine. His study in Endocrinology focuses on Gonadotropin, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, Hypothalamus, Pituitary gland and Ovariectomized rat.

His Gonadotropin-releasing hormone research incorporates themes from Gonadotropin RH and Electrophysiology. His work on Gonadotropic cell as part of general Luteinizing hormone study is frequently linked to Luteinizing hormone secretion, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work deals with themes such as Secretion, Radioimmunoassay, Pulsatile flow and Basal, which intersect with Hormone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (87.57%)
  • Endocrinology (86.44%)
  • Luteinizing hormone (32.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1985-2006)?

  • Internal medicine (87.57%)
  • Endocrinology (86.44%)
  • Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (18.08%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, Hypothalamus and Luteinizing hormone. His study in Pituitary gland, Menstrual cycle, Gonadotropic cell, Estrogen and Gonadotropin RH falls under the purview of Internal medicine. His Menstrual cycle study also includes fields such as

  • Ovulation which is related to area like Progesterone secretion, Corpus luteum and Stimulation,
  • Luteal phase that intertwine with fields like Physiology.

His work on Gonadotropin, Hormone and Ovariectomized rat as part of his general Endocrinology study is frequently connected to Pulse generator, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His study looks at the relationship between Gonadotropin-releasing hormone and fields such as Pulsatile flow, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The Hypothalamus study which covers Bursting that intersects with Premovement neuronal activity, Suprachiasmatic nucleus, Arcuate nucleus, Median eminence and Anatomy.

Between 1985 and 2006, his most popular works were:

  • The Physiology of reproduction (7534 citations)
  • Encyclopedia of reproduction (598 citations)
  • Knobil and Neill's Physiology of reproduction (590 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Hormone
  • Endocrinology

Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, Luteinizing hormone and Reproduction are his primary areas of study. His work on Hormone and Gonadotropin as part of general Internal medicine research is frequently linked to Pulse generator, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Ernst Knobil has included themes like Electrophysiology, Hypothalamus, Follicular phase and Menstrual cycle in his Gonadotropin-releasing hormone study.

In his study, Ovulation and Stimulation is inextricably linked to Pituitary gland, which falls within the broad field of Hypothalamus. Ernst Knobil usually deals with Luteinizing hormone and limits it to topics linked to Ovariectomized rat and Neuropeptide, Morphine, -Naloxone, Peptide hormone and Insulin. His Physiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Lactation and Female reproductive system.
