VGF changes during the estrous cycle: a novel endocrine role for TLQP peptides? [PDF]
, 2014 Although the VGF derived peptide TLQP-21 stimulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropin secretion, available data on VGF peptides and reproduction are limited.

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 ...

The role of kisspeptin in the pathogenesis of a polycystic ovary syndrome
Endocrine Regulations, 2023 Hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal (HPG) axis is responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system. In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), there is a disturbance in the HPG axis.
