The Role of Kisspeptin in Sexual Behavior [PDF]
Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2019 AbstractSexual behavior is essential for the perpetuation of a species. In female rodents, mate preference and lordosis behavior depend heavily on the integration of olfactory cues into the neuroendocrine brain, yet its underlying neural circuits are not well understood.

Kisspeptin signalling in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus regulates GnRH pulse generator frequency in the rat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Kisspeptin and its G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 54 are essential for activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis. In the rat, the kisspeptin neurons critical for gonadotropin secretion are located in the hypothalamic arcuate (ARC)

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 1151-1171, September 2026.Abstract Recent advances in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment have greatly improved survival rates among women with gynecologic cancers. More survivors now live long enough to experience treatment‐related menopause. Vasomotor symptoms, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, sexual dysfunction, sleep issues, and long‐term risks from estrogen ...

Kisspeptin/GPR54 System: What Do We Know About Its Role in Human Reproduction?
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018 Kisspeptin is involved in the control of human reproduction bridging the gap between the sex steroid levels and feedback mechanisms that control the gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion; however, studies considering this peptide and ...

Neuroanatomical evidence that kisspeptin directly regulates isotocin and vasotocin neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Neuropeptide kisspeptin has been suggested to be an essential central regulator of reproduction in response to changes in serum gonadal steroid concentrations.

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 9, Page 1823-1832, September 2026.Acute hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian axis suppression is common in anti‐NMDAR encephalitis, yet ovarian function and fertility recover favorably even in teratoma‐associated cases, supporting reassuring long‐term reproductive prognoses. Abstract Introduction Anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (anti‐NMDAR) encephalitis predominantly affects women of ...

Kisspeptin Activates Ankrd 26 Gene Expression in Migrating Embryonic GnRH Neurons
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2016 Kisspeptin, a newly discovered neuropeptide regulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Kisspeptins are a large RF-amide family of peptides. The kisspeptin coded by kiss1 gene is a 145-amino acid- protein that is cleaved to C-terminal peptide ...

Effect of Peripheral Administration of Kisspeptin-10 on Dynamic LH Secretion in Prepubertal Ewes [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2012 The aim of the present study was to clarify the effect of kisspeptin-10 on LH secretion in prepubertal ewes. In experiment 1, prepubertal ewes fitted with indwelling jugular catheters were randomly assigned to receive 0, 0.5, 1 or 2 mg of kisspeptin-10 ...

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 46, 17 August 2026.Population‐scale EDC–hormone association mapping among 4255 participants across demographic subgroups identifies phthalate metabolites as the most consistent signals associated with lower testosterone‐related markers in males. Integrative mechanistic validation prioritizes MCPP as a key phthalate metabolite linked to CYP17A1‐centered disruption of ...
