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

Although the pathogenesis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is still unclear, the
disturbance of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis is suspected to be the main culprit …

This review considers three aspects of recent work on the role of KNDy neurons in GnRH
pulse generation in ruminants. First, work on basic mechanisms of pulse generation …

The endocrine hypothalamus constitutes those cells which project to the median eminence
and secrete neurohormones into the hypophysial portal blood to act on cells of the anterior …

Reproduction is the biological process by which new individuals are produced by their
parents. It is the fundamental feature of all known life and is required for the existence of all …

The control of reproductive processes involves the integration of a number of factors from the
internal and external environment, with the final output signal of these processes being the …

The neuropeptide kisspeptin is now well-established as the master regulator of the
mammalian reproductive axis. Beyond the hypothalamus, kisspeptin and its cognate …

Social behaviors are key components of reproduction, because they are essential for
successful fertilization. Social behaviors, such as courtship, mating, and aggression, are …

The recent description of infertility in humans with loss-of-function mutations in genes for
neurokinin B (NKB) or its receptor (NK3R) has focused attention on the importance of this …

Pheromone signals regulate conspecific behavior and physiology [1]. Releaser pheromones
induce specific behavior by exerting acute effects on the neuronal response, whereas primer …
