Oestrogen Induces Rhythmic Expression of the Kisspeptin-1 Receptor GPR54 in Hypothalamic Gonadotrophin-Releasing Hormone-Secreting GT1-7 Cells [PDF]
Oestrogen-stimulated preovulatory gonadotrophin surges are temporally regulated in a way that remains not fully understood. Mammalian ovulation requires surges of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), released from specialised neurones in the hypothalamus. Surge regulation is mediated by ovarian oestrogen (17 β-oestradiol; E(2) ) feedback-acting as a

Hyperalgesic activity of kisspeptin in mice
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 ...

Biological Significance of Kisspeptin–Kiss 1 Receptor Signaling in the Habenula of Teleost Species
Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide, encoded by kisspeptin 1 (KISS1)/Kiss1 gene, which primarily acts as the regulator of reproductive functions via its receptor, kisspeptin receptor (KissR) in vertebrates.

Polycystic ovary syndrome represents a significant cause of female infertility. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), kisspeptin 1 (KISS-1), and kisspeptin 1 receptor (KISS1r) in rat models of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and controlled ovarian stimulation (COS).

Kisspeptin/GPR54 System: What Do We Know About Its Role in Human Reproduction?
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 ...
