Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

Abstract The objective of this work is to assess the effects and potential process of paternal acute sleep deprivation on cardiac function in their offspring. Male and female C57BL/6N mice aged 8–9 weeks (n = 4–5 mice/group) were used. Male mice were selected to construct an acute sleep deprivation model using the modified multiple platform method ...

Psychobiotics and the microbiota–gut–brain axis: Emerging paradigms in mental health modulation
Abstract The global rise in mental health conditions has prompted interest in interventions that act beyond conventional psychopharmacology. Psychobiotics, broadly understood as live microorganisms or microbe‐derived products that interact with the microbiota–gut–brain axis, have been suggested to exert neuroactive effects through neural, immune ...
