Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have generated rapid
variations in atmospheric composition which drives major climate changes. Climate change …

Teleost fish exhibit remarkably diverse and plastic patterns of sexual development. One of
the most fascinating modes of plasticity is functional sex change, which is widespread in …

The kiss1/gpr54 signaling system is considered to be a critical regulator of reproduction in
most vertebrates. However, this presumption has not been tested vigorously in …

It is well known that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gnrh) has a key role in reproduction
by regulating the synthesis and release of gonadotropins from the anterior pituitary gland of …

Kisspeptin, encoded by the KISS1 gene, was first discovered as a potential metastasis
suppressor gene. The prepro-kisspeptin precursor is cleaved into shorter mature bioactive …

Kisspeptin, a novel neuropeptide product of the Kiss1 gene, activates the G protein-coupled
membrane receptor G protein-coupled receptor 54 (now termed Kiss1r). Over the last 15 …

In humans, as in the other mammals, the neuroendocrine control of reproduction is ensured
by the brain-pituitary gonadotropic axis. Multiple internal and environmental cues are …

Gnrh is the major neuropeptide regulator of vertebrate reproduction, triggering a cascade of
events in the pituitary-gonadal axis that result in reproductive competence. Previous …

Neuropeptide kisspeptin has been suggested to be an essential central regulator of
reproduction in response to changes in serum gonadal steroid concentrations. However, in …

Water temperature is an environmental factor of primary importance that influences
reproductive function in fish. To understand the molecular and physiological mechanisms …
