Hypothetical scheme of platelet-associated regulatory system (PARS). Note, platelets convey information from the central nervous system to the ovaries via storing and releasing brain-derived factors. GnRH: gonadotropine releasing hormone; LH: luteinizing hormone; FSH: folliculus stimulating hormone; PAF: platelet activating factor; +: stimulation; − : inhibition, BDNF: brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
