Puberty is associated with an increase in gonadotropin secretion as a result of an increase in gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. Kisspeptin is considered to play a key role in puberty onset in many mammalian species, including rodents, ruminants and primates. The present study aimed to determine if changes in hypothalamic expression of the KISS1 gene, encoding kisspeptin, are ass...
Sex differences in brain function underlie robust differences between males and females in both normal and disease states. Although alternative mechanisms exist, sexual differentiation of the male mammalian brain is initiated predominantly by testosterone secreted by the testes during the perinatal period. Despite considerable advances in understanding how testosterone and its metabolite estrad...
The importance of kisspeptin in regulating vertebrate reproduction has been well established, but the exact mechanism continues to unfold. Unlike mammals, many lower vertebrates possess a dual kisspeptin system, Kiss1 and Kiss2. To decipher the roles of the kisspeptins in fish, we identified two potential kisspeptin antagonists, pep 234 and pep 359, by screening analogs for their ability to ina...
Kisspeptin is encoded by the Kiss1 gene, and kisspeptin signaling plays a critical role in reproduction. In rodents, kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus (Arc) provide tonic drive to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, which in turn supports basal luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. Our objectives were to determine whether preprodynorphin (Dyn) and neurokinin B (NKB) are coexpre...
More than 15 000 women in the US die from ovarian carcinoma annually (1 ). The most important determinant of survival in ovarian carcinoma cases is tumor stage. Most patients presenting with disease confined to the ovaries (stage 1) can be cured, with a 5-year survival rate of 90% (1 ). Spread of the tumor outside the ovaries (stages 2 to 4) confers a much poorer prognosis, however. Cure is unc...
Jiang Q, He M, Ko WK, Wong AO. Kisspeptin induction of somatolactinrelease in goldfish pituitary cells: functional role of cAMP/PKA-, PLC/PKC-, and Ca /calmodulin-dependent cascades. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 307: E872–E884, 2014. First published September 2, 2014; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00321.2014.— Although the importance of kisspeptin in the pituitary is firmly established, the signaling me...
We tested the working hypothesis that Fos will identify the critical population of kisspeptin neurons that accompanies the LHRH surge using a synchronized follicular phase model in intact cycling ewes. The model generates an LH surge that starts within a defined 2-h window in a 20-d synchronized cycle. With a modified push-pull cannula in vivo LHRH release from the median eminence was sampled i...
Kisspeptin, neurokinin B (NKB) and dynorphin A (Dyn) are coexpressed within KNDy neurons that project from the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) to GnRH neurons and numerous other hypothalamic targets. Each of the KNDy neuropeptides has been implicated in regulating pulsatile GnRH/LH secretion. In isolation, kisspeptin is generally known to stimulate, and Dyn to inhibit LH secretion. However, ...
Kisspeptins are extraordinarily potent in stimulating gonadotropic hormone secretion via an action on the hypothalamic GnRH neural system. Because the physiological frequency of the GnRH pulse generator is a critical component of the control system that governs reproductive processes, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of kisspeptin-10 on pulsatile LH secretion and on the electroph...
Reproduction is associated with the circadian system, primarily as a result of the connectivity between the biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and reproduction-regulating brain regions, such as preoptic area (POA), anteroventral periventricular nucleus (AVPV), and arcuate nucleus (ARC). Networking of the central pacemaker to these hypothalamic brain regions is partly represen...
