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.

Comprehensive Review on Kisspeptin and Its Role in Reproductive Disorders [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2015 Kisspeptin has recently emerged as a key regulator of the mammalian reproductive axis. It is known that kisspeptin, acting centrally via the kisspeptin receptor, stimulates secretion of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH). Loss of kisspeptin signaling

MOLECULAR EVOLUTION OF GPCRS: Kisspeptin/kisspeptin receptors [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2014 Following the discovery of kisspeptin (Kiss) and its receptor (GPR54 or KissR) in mammals, phylogenetic studies revealed up to three Kiss and four KissR paralogous genes in other vertebrates. The multiplicity of Kiss and KissR types in vertebrates probably originated from the two rounds of whole-genome duplication (1R and 2R) that occurred in early ...

The Correlation between Hormonal Disturbance in PCOS Women and Serum Level of Kisspeptin
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2020 Background. Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide that upregulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. It is an essential element for the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge and ovulation.

Current Perspectives on Kisspeptins Role in Behaviour
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 The neuropeptide kisspeptin is now well-established as the master regulator of the mammalian reproductive axis. Beyond the hypothalamus, kisspeptin and its cognate receptor are also extensively distributed in extra-hypothalamic brain regions.

The Effects of 5-Hydroxytryptamine and Interaction With Kisspeptin in Controlling Ghrelin and Adiponectin Secretion [PDF]
International Journal of Basic Science in Medicine, 2022 Introduction: 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5HT) and kisspeptin are satiety factors, and ghrelin and adiponectin are orexigenic peptides. In this study, the mediating role of 5HT in the effects of GPR54 receptor blocking on ghrelin and adiponectin secretion was ...

Investigating the KNDy hypothesis in humans by co-administration of kisspeptin, neurokinin B and naltrexone in men [PDF]
, 2016 Context: A subpopulation of hypothalamic neurons co-localise three neuropeptides namely kisspeptin, neurokinin B (NKB) and dynorphin collectively termed KNDy neurons. Animal studies suggest they interact to affect pulsatile GnRH release (KNDy hypothesis);
