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 …

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 …

Kisspeptin‐GPR54 signalling is essential for normal reproductive functioning. However, the
distribution of kisspeptin neuronal cell bodies and their projections is not well established …

Estrogen produced by ovarian follicles plays a key role in the central mechanisms
controlling reproduction via regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release …

Our understanding of kisspeptin and its actions depends, in part, on a detailed knowledge of
the neuroanatomy of the kisspeptin signaling system in the brain. In this chapter, we will …

Gonadotrophin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) is the primary hypothalamic factor responsible
for the control of gonadotrophin secretion in vertebrates. However, within the last decade …

Kisspeptin has been recognized as a key regulator of GnRH secretion during puberty and
adulthood, conveying the feedback influence of endogenous gonadal steroids onto the …

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 …
