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 has recently emerged as a key regulator of the mammalian reproductive axis. It is
known that kisspeptin, acting centrally via the kisspeptin receptor, stimulates secretion of …

BACKGROUND Initially identified as suppressors of metastasis in various types of cancer,
kisspeptins are a family of neuropeptides that are key regulators of the mammalian …

During pregnancy the maternal pancreatic islets of Langerhans undergo adaptive changes
to compensate for gestational insulin resistance. Kisspeptin has been shown to stimulate …

Context: Kisspeptin is a recently identified hormone encoded by the KISS1 gene, playing a
critical role in human reproduction. Plasma kisspeptin levels rise dramatically during normal …

Objective To validate the ability of serum kisspeptin-54 to discriminate between first-trimester
viable pregnancies and miscarriages. Design Case-control study. Setting Academic medical …

Kisspeptin and its receptor are central to reproductive health acting as key regulators of the
reproductive endocrine axis in humans. Kisspeptin is most widely recognised as a regulator …

Kisspeptins are the family of neuropeptide products of the KISS-1 gene that exert the
biological action by binding with the G-protein coupled receptor 54 (GPR54), also known as …

Kisspeptins are a family of neuropeptides that are critical for the puberty initiation and female
fertility. Plasma or serum kisspeptin is mainly derived from the placenta during pregnancy …

Objectives Circulating concentrations of the peptide kisspeptin have been proposed as a
novel biomarker for early detection of pre‐eclampsia. Our aims were to assess analytical …
