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 …

This review aims at synthesizing the most relevant information regarding the
neuroendocrine circuits controlling reproduction, mainly gonadotropin release, in teleost …

Kisspeptin (a product of the Kiss1 gene) and its receptor (GPR54 or Kiss1r) have emerged
as key players in the regulation of reproduction. Mutations in humans or genetically targeted …

Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) has revealed itself as an ubiquitously
distributed and functionally diverse molecule. The mechanisms that control its synthesis …

Kisspeptin is a potent stimulator of GnRH secretion that has been implicated in the feedback
actions of ovarian steroids. In ewes, the majority of hypothalamic kisspeptin neurons are …

Kisspeptin and its receptor GPR54 have recently been identified as key signaling partners in
the neural control of fertility in animal models and humans. The gonadotropin-releasing …

Seasonality is an important adaptive trait in temperate fish species as it entrains or regulates
most physiological events such as reproductive cycle, growth profile, locomotor activity and …

Kisspeptin is involved in the control of human reproduction bridging the gap between the
sex steroid levels and feedback mechanisms that control the gonadotropin releasing …

Neurons that produce gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) are the final common
pathway by which the brain regulates reproduction. GnRH neurons are regulated by an …

The KiSS-1 gene encodes a family of peptides called kisspeptins, which are endogenous
ligands for the G protein-coupled receptor GPR54. Kisspeptin function appears to be critical …
