The Hormonal Regulation of Kisspeptin and Neuropeptide Y Hypothalamic Neurons

Kisspeptin (encoded by Kiss1) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that is directly regulated by sex steroids and directly stimulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons. Kisspeptin cell models were established in order to facilitate future molecular analysis of kisspeptin. mHypoA-51 and mHypoA-...
