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 ...

The evolution and variety of RFamide-type neuropeptides: insights from deuterostomian invertebrates [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014 Five families of neuropeptides that have a C-terminal RFamide motif have been identified in vertebrates: 1. gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), 2. neuropeptide FF (NPFF) 3. pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide (QRFP), 4. prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP)

The kisspeptin-1 receptor antagonist peptide-234 aggravates uremic cardiomyopathy in a rat model [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 AbstractUremic cardiomyopathy is characterized by diastolic dysfunction, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and fibrosis. Dysregulation of the kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R)-mediated pathways are associated with the development of fibrosis in cancerous diseases.

Interaction of central kisspeptin with melanocortin, GABAergic, corticotrophin, and NPY systems on food intake in chickens [PDF]
The Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology, 2022 Kisspeptin is a key component of reproduction that can directly affect food intake in mammals. There is evidence suggesting that melanocortin, GABA, corticotrophin, and neuropeptide Y (NPY), have a mediatory role in reward; however, how these substances ...

Nonstop mutation in the Kisspeptin 1 receptor (KISS1R) gene causes normosmic congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism [PDF]
Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics, 2019 Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) is a rare genetic disorder mostly characterized by gonadotropins release and/or action deficiencies. Both isolated (idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) and syndromic (Kallmann) forms are identified depending on the olfactory ability.

Experimental and Clinical Transplantation, 2020 Information is scarce on levels of kisspeptin-1 and the kisspeptin-1 receptorin females after ovarian transplant. In this study, our aim was to explore serum estradiol, anti-Müllerian hormone, kisspeptin-1, and kisspeptin receptor levels, along with kisspeptin-1-positive cell density, in ovaries from rats after ovarian transplant.For this study, 28 ...
