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 …

The bioactive peptides galanin, spexin and kisspeptin have a common ancestral origin and
their pathophysiological roles are increasingly the subject of investigation. Evidence …

Psychological stress can be defined as any uncomfortable'emotional experience'
accompanied by predictable biochemical, physiological and behavioural changes or …

Metabolic dysfunction underlies several chronic diseases, many of which are exacerbated
by obesity. Dietary interventions can reverse metabolic declines and slow aging, although …

The neuropeptide kisspeptin is now well-established as the master regulator of the
mammalian reproductive axis. Beyond the hypothalamus, kisspeptin and its cognate …

Neuropeptides being regulators of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity,
also affect the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis by regulating …

Kisspeptins (Kp) are RF-amide neuropeptide regulators of the reproductive axis that also
influence anxiety, locomotion, and metabolism. We aimed to investigate the effects of …

The emergence of kisspeptin as a crucial regulator of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal
(HPG) axis over the last 14 years has answered many questions as to the control of …

Kisspeptin is a mammalian amidated neurohormone, which belongs to the RF-amide
peptide family and is known for its key role in reproduction. However, in contrast with the …

Reproduction is fundamental for the survival of all species and requires meticulous
synchronisation of a diverse complement of neural, endocrine and related behaviours. The …
