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 …

To evaluate if plasma kisspeptin concentrations are associated with insulin secretion, as
suggested by recent in vitro studies, independently of confounders. 261 nondiabetic …

Objective: Due to the complex relationship between kisspeptin and the hypothalamic-
pituitary-gonadal axis, the study was planned to measure the kisspeptin levels in polycystic …

While physical hyperactivity represents a frequent symptom of anorexia nervosa and may
have a deleterious impact on the course of the disease, the underlying mechanisms are …

The bioactive peptides galanin, spexin and kisspeptin have a common ancestral origin and
their pathophysiological roles are increasingly the subject of investigation. Evidence …

Spexin is the most recently discovered member of the galanin/kisspeptin/spexin family of
peptides. This 14-amino acid peptide is highly conserved and is implicated in homeostatic …

Kisspeptin has been shown to participate in the regulation of pituitary hormone secretion
and energy metabolism. In PCOS patients, there are disorders in pituitary hormone secretion …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to:[1] measure, for the first time, metastin (kisspeptin)
levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition associated with …

Aim: We aimed to measure serum kisspeptin levels of subjects with well-characterized
PCOS versus controls and explore any correlation between kisspeptin and PCOS-related …
