There is Kisspeptin – And Then There is Kisspeptin [PDF]
Trends in Endocrinology and 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 Modulation of Reproductive Function
Endocrines, 2022 Kisspeptin is a peptide expressed mainly in the infundibular nucleus of the hypothalamus. Kisspeptin plays a crucial role in the regulation of reproductive functions.

GPR54 and kisspeptin in reproduction [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 2006 Abstract Kisspeptins, the peptide products of the KiSS-1 gene, were identified in 2001 as natural ligands of the previously orphan G protein-coupled receptor, GPR54. They include, among others, metastin and kisspeptin-10. The known biological functions of kisspeptins were initially restricted to their ability to suppress tumour ...

Kisspeptin-10 Ameliorates Obesity-Diabetes with Diverse Effects on Ileal Enteroendocrine Cells and Pancreatic Islet Morphology in High-Fat Fed Female Mice [PDF]
BiomoleculesKisspeptin is a neuropeptide recognised for a pivotal role within the reproductive system, but potentially important endocrine metabolic effects are less well understood. We examined effects of twice-daily intraperitoneal administration of saline vehicle

Central kisspeptin injection enhances food consumption in broiler chickens: role of opioidergic and dopaminergic receptors [PDF]
Poultry ScienceKisspeptin, acting as both a neuropeptide and a hormone, known for its pivotal role in reproductive function and energy homeostasis, exerts multifaceted effects on central nervous system pathways involved in appetite regulation.

Analysis and Characterization of Kisspeptin and Its Analogues in Serum and Urine Samples by Liquid Chromatography-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry for Doping Control Purposes. [PDF]
Drug Test AnalSensitive LC‐HRMS methods were established for the detection of kisspeptin and its analogues in serum and urine, alongside their analytical and metabolic characterization. Stability studies were conducted in serum, plasma, and urine, highlighting the importance of appropriate sample handling for reliable anti‐doping analysis.

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.

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 ...
