Hyperalgesic activity of kisspeptin in mice. [PDF]
Molecular Pain, 2011 BACKGROUND: Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide known for its role in the hypothalamic regulation of the reproductive axis. Following the recent description of kisspeptin and its 7-TM receptor, GPR54, in the dorsal root ganglia and dorsal horns of the spinal ...

Kisspeptin and seasonality in sheep [PDF]
Peptides, 2008 Sheep are seasonal breeders, experiencing a period of reproductive quiescence during spring and early summer. During the non-breeding period, kisspeptin expression in the arcuate nucleus is markedly reduced. This strongly suggests that the mechanisms that control seasonal changes in reproductive function involve kisspeptin neurons.

Emerging Perspectives on Gonadotropin Regulation in Vertebrates Revealed by the Discovery of FSH-RH in Teleosts. [PDF]
BioessaysRegarding pituitary gonadotropin regulation, recent studies have shown that in mammals, FSH and LH are regulated by a single GnRH (solo GnRH model), whereas in teleosts, they are regulated by CCK (FSH‐RH) and GnRH (LH‐RH), respectively (dual GnRH model).

Aquaculture and Fisheries, 2022 Kisspeptin is a hormone involved in the neuroendocrine control of reproduction in fish. We hypothesized that kisspeptin stimulates oocyte maturation and modulates other reproductive hormones in zebrafish; and the gonadal kisspeptin system in zebrafish is

There is Kisspeptin – And Then There is Kisspeptin [PDF]
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2015 While kisspeptin was initially found to function as a metastasis suppressor, after identification of its receptor KISS1R and their expression profiles in tissues such as the hypothalamus and adrenals, kisspeptin and KISS1R were predominantly assigned endocrine functions, including regulating puberty and fertility through their actions on hypothalamic ...

Kisspeptin/Kisspeptin Receptor System in the Ovary [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Kisspeptins are a family of neuropeptides that are critical for initiating puberty and regulating ovulation in sexually mature females via the central control of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Recent studies have shown that kisspeptin and its receptor kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R) are expressed in the mammalian ovary.

Kisspeptin Regulation of Neuronal Activity throughout the Central Nervous System [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2016 Kisspeptin signaling at the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuron is now relatively well characterized and established as being critical for the neural control of fertility.

Chronic kisspeptin delays puberty and reduces feed intake and body weight in female rats
Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2021 Kisspeptin is a key player in the central control of reproductive axis. Central administration of kisspeptin has been shown to advance puberty in rats. Stimulation of hypothalamic GnRH pulse generating mechanism by kisspeptin has been proposed to be the ...

Kisspeptin and fertility [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2010 The kisspeptins are a family of peptide hormones, which in recent years have been shown to play a critical role in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, thus in turn influencing fertility and reproduction. This review examines the physiological role of kisspeptin and the kisspeptin receptor in the control of gonadotrophin and ...
