In vivohypothalamic gonadotrophin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) release was characterised for the first time in a New World primate. A nonterminal and repeatable push‐pull perfusion (PPP) technique reliably measured GnRH in conscious common marmoset monkeys. Nineteen adult females (n = 8 ovary‐intact in the mid‐follicular phase; n = 11 ovariectomised) were fitted with long‐term cranial pedestals, and a push‐pull cannula was temporarily placed in unique locations within the pituitary stalk‐median eminence (S‐ME) 2 days prior to each PPP session. Marmosets underwent 1–3 PPPs (32 PPPs in total) lasting up to 12 h. Plasma cortisol levels were not elevated in these habituated marmosets during PPP, and PPP did not disrupt ovulatory cyclicity or subsequent fertility in ovary‐intact females. GnRH displayed an organised pattern of release, with pulses occurring every 50.0 ± 2.6 min and lasting 25.4 ± 1.3 min. GnRH pulse frequency was consistent within individual marmosets across multiple PPPs. GnRH mean concentration, baseline concentration and pulse amplitude varied predictably with anatomical location of the cannula tip within the S‐ME. GnRH release increased characteristically in response to a norepinephrine infusion and decreased abruptly during the evening transition to lights off. Ovary‐intact (mid‐follicular phase) and ovariectomised marmosets did not differ significantly on any parameter of GnRH release. Overall, these results indicate that PPP can be used to reliably assessin vivoGnRH release in marmosets and will be a useful tool for future studies of reproductive neuroendocrinology in this small primate.
