Neuropeptide co-expression in hypothalamic kisspeptin neurons of laboratory animals and the human

Hypothalamic peptidergic neurons using kisspeptin (KP) and its co-transmitters for communication are critically involved in the regulation of mammalian reproduction and puberty. This article provides an overview of neuropeptides present in KP neurons, with a focus on the human species. Immunohistoch...
