Kisspeptin: Beyond the Brain [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2015 The hypothalamic-based kisspeptin-signaling system is a major positive regulator of the neuroendocrine-reproductive axis in mammals. During the last decade, major advances have been made in understanding how this signaling system is regulated and how it can be manipulated clinically to achieve beneficial outcomes in treating sex steroid-dependent ...

Investigation of the novel hormone kisspeptin in disorders of reproduction [PDF]
, 2012 The novel hormone kisspeptin has been identified to play a pivotal role in the regulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis. Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that a bolus administration of kisspeptin-54 can acutely stimulate

HPLC profile of kisspeptin-immunoreactivity from hypothalamic extracts.
, 2014 Solid lines- Kisspeptin concentration; broken lines-% acetonitrile (ACN). ↓KP-52 represents the elution position of Kisspeptin-52 standard. The recovery of Kisspeptin-IR in the tissue extract from each column run was above 80% (means S.E.M.; n = 4).

Advent of NK3R Antagonists for the Treatment of Menopausal Hot Flushes: A Narrative Review
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The menopause transition is marked by symptoms predominantly attributed to declining oestrogen levels. Approximately 80% of women experience associated symptoms, and 25% experience severe symptoms. The commonest are vasomotor symptoms (VMS), collectively referring to hot flushes and/or night sweats.

Kisspeptin and Puberty in Mammals [PDF]
, 2013 Since the discovery of the G-protein coupled receptor 54 (kisspeptin receptor) and its ligand, kisspeptin, our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms that govern the pituitary-gonadal axis has evolved dramatically. In this chapter, we have reviewed progress regarding the relationship between kisspeptin and puberty, and have proposed a novel ...

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives/Background Cluster headache (CH) has historically been considered a male‐dominated disorder, suggesting a role for androgens in its pathophysiology. We aimed to evaluate hormone profiles and symptoms of androgen deficiency in CH.

Microvascular endothelial function is blunted in postmenopausal females with frequent hot flushes
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Hot flushes of menopause are associated with elevated blood pressure (BP) and diminished macrovascular endothelial function, an initiating factor in the onset of atherosclerosis. Whether microvascular endothelial function is impaired in females with hot flushes, however, remains unknown.

Potential roles for the kisspeptin/kisspeptin receptor system in implantation and placentation [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 2018 Initially identified as suppressors of metastasis in various types of cancer, kisspeptins are a family of neuropeptides that are key regulators of the mammalian reproductive axis. Accumulating evidence has shown that kisspeptin is able to control both the pulsatile and surge GnRH release, playing fundamental roles in female reproduction, which include ...
