Procreation is essential for survival of species. Not surprisingly, complex neuronal networks
have evolved to mediate the diverse internal and external environmental inputs that regulate …

Kisspeptin (KP) and neurokinin B (NKB) are neuropeptides that govern the reproductive
endocrine axis through regulating hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) …

This article is part of a Special Issue “Puberty and Adolescence”. Reproduction is an energy-
demanding function. Accordingly, puberty is metabolically gated, as a means to prevent …

Kisspeptin stimulates reproduction, and kisspeptin cells in the arcuate nucleus (ARC)
express Ob-Rb in the mouse. Herein we report studies in ewes to determine whether …

The neuropeptide kisspeptin regulates reproduction by stimulating gonadotropin-releasing
hormone (GnRH) neurons via the kisspeptin receptor KISS1R. In addition to GnRH neurons …

Spexin (SPX) and kisspeptin (KISS) are novel peptides relevant in the context of regulation
of metabolism, food intake, puberty and reproduction. Here, we studied changes of serum …

The neuropeptide kisspeptin is necessary for reproduction, fertility, and puberty. Here, we
show strong kisspeptin innervation of hypothalamic anorexigenic proopiomelanocortin …

Kisspeptins, the products of KiSS-1 gene, have recently emerged as fundamental regulators
of reproductive function in different mammalian and, presumably, non-mammalian species …

Adipose tissue produces factors, including adipokines, cytokines and chemokines which,
when released, systemically exert endocrine effects on multiple tissues thereby affecting …

Aims To investigate the effect of kisspeptin on glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion and
appetite in humans. Materials and methods In 15 healthy men (age: 25.2±1.1 years; BMI …
