Kisspeptin (encoded by the Kiss1 gene) and its receptor, KISS1R (encoded by the Kiss1r
gene), have well-established roles in stimulating reproduction via central actions on …

Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide with a critical role in the function of the hypothalamic–pituitary–
gonadal (HPG) axis. Kisspeptin is produced by two major populations of neurons located in …

Kisspeptin, encoded by Kiss1 gene expressing neurons in the hypothalamus, is a requisite
for fertility and now appears critical in the regulation of energy balance. Kisspeptin neurons …

Body energy balance and metabolic signals are important modulators of puberty and
reproductive function, so that perturbations of metabolism and energy reserves (ranging …

Kisspeptin, a neuropeptide hormone, has been firmly established as a key regulator of the
hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis and mammalian reproductive behaviour. In recent …

Abstract Background Kisspeptins, encoded by Kiss1, have emerged as essential regulators
of puberty and reproduction by primarily acting on GnRH neurons, via their canonical …

The peptide kisspeptin and its receptor, Kiss1r, act centrally to stimulate reproduction.
Evidence indicates that kisspeptin signaling is also important for body weight (BW) and …

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

Kisspeptin was initially identified as a metastasis suppressor. Shortly after the initial
discovery, a key physiologic role for kisspeptin emerged in the regulation of fertility, with …

While kisspeptin was initially found to function as a metastasis suppressor, after
identification of its receptor KISS1R and their expression profiles in tissues such as the …
