Cre/lox generation of a novel whole-body Kiss1r KO mouse line recapitulates a hypogonadal, obese, and metabolically-impaired phenotype. [PDF]
, 2019 Kisspeptin and its receptor, Kiss1r, act centrally to stimulate reproduction. Recent evidence indicates that kisspeptin is also important for body weight and metabolism, as whole-body Kiss1r KO mice, developed with gene trap technology, display obesity ...

Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract This narrative review highlights the impact of exercise on vascular health in females over the lifespan with an emphasis on puberty, pregnancy and menopause. These events encompass substantial changes in sex hormone levels, particularly oestrogens and progesterone.

Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, 2022 Kisspeptin, encoded by the KISS1 gene, was first discovered as a potential metastasis suppressor gene. The prepro-kisspeptin precursor is cleaved into shorter mature bioactive peptides of varying sizes that bind to the G protein-coupled receptor GPR54 (=KISS1R).

Evidence That Agouti-Related Peptide May Directly Regulate Kisspeptin Neurons in Male Sheep
Metabolites, 2021 Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons, which relay information from peripheral metabolic signals, may constitute a key central regulator of reproduction.

Circadian regulation of reproduction: From gamete to offspring [PDF]
, 2013 P01326625; Grants: GNT0519315Few challenges are more critical to the survival of a species than reproduction. To ensure reproductive success, myriad aspects of physiology and behaviour need to be tightly orchestrated within the animal, as well as timed ...

Biochemical and Physiological Effects of Galanin in Health and Disease
The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 2, 31 January 2026.Galanin is a biologically active neuropeptide hormone that mediates its effects through three galanin receptors. Galanin signaling induces changes in glucose homeostasis amongst others and plays a dynamic role in the physiological health of many organ systems.

Hormonal regulation of female reproduction [PDF]
, 2012 Reproduction is an event that requires the coordination of peripheral organs with the nervous system to ensure that the internal and external environments are optimal for successful procreation of the species.

Advanced Biology, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2026.This study introduces and investigates different‐sex gonad transplants in a mouse model of gender‐affirming hormone therapy. Ovaries and testes implanted into gonadectomized adults exhibit gametogenesis and steroidogenesis independent of the sex of the host.
