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.

Hyperalgesic activity of kisspeptin in mice. [PDF]
Molecular Pain, 2011 BACKGROUND: Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide known for its role in the hypothalamic regulation of the reproductive axis. Following the recent description of kisspeptin and its 7-TM receptor, GPR54, in the dorsal root ganglia and dorsal horns of the spinal ...

Neuroendocrine plasticity and crosstalk in pubertal development. [PDF]
J NeuroendocrinolAbstract Puberty is a critical developmental stage during which individuals acquire the capacity for sexual reproduction. This transition involves a series of complex biological events primarily orchestrated by the activation of the hypothalamo–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis.

Serum kisspeptin levels mainly depend on ovarian expression of Kiss1 mRNA in female rats
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The hypothalamic kisspeptin/KISS1 receptor system is essential for puberty onset and reproductive development. Although serum kisspeptin might be associated with puberty, its levels, according to developmental stage, and its origin still remain unclear ...

Plasma kisspeptin levels are associated with insulin secretion in nondiabetic individuals [PDF]
, 2017 To evaluate if plasma kisspeptin concentrations are associated with insulin secretion, as suggested by recent in vitro studies, independently of confounders. 261 nondiabetic subjects were stratified into tertiles according to kisspeptin values.

Sexual Dimorphism in Kisspeptin Signaling
Cells, 2022 Kisspeptin (KP) and kisspeptin receptor (KPR) are essential for the onset of puberty, development of gonads, and maintenance of gonadal function in both males and females.

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 ...

Expressions of Kisspeptin System and Ki-67 in the Reproductive Tissues of Cyclic Bitches. [PDF]
Reprod Domest AnimABSTRACT Kisspeptin is a peptide that plays a pivotal role in the central regulation of gonadotropins. It is regarded as a key regulator of reproductive processes, including follicular and luteal development and endometrial remodelling. The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of KISS1, its receptor KISS1R and the proliferation ...
