Description for Kisspeptin Signaling in Reproductive Biology
Hardcover. This book focuses on kisspeptin and its role in reproductive biology. It looks at interactions between Kisspeptin and Neurokinin B and reviews model systems for studying kisspeptin signaling. Editor(s): Kauffman, Alexander S.; Smith, Jeremy T. Series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. Num Pages: 526 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MFKC; MJG; PSBC; PSVH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 243 x 158 x 40. Weight in Grams: 904.
Kisspeptin has been shown to be both necessary and sufficient for activation of the reproductive axis, during puberty and later in adulthood. This makes kisspeptin a fundamental component of the reproductive axis. Kisspeptin has been deemed the single most potent stimulator of GnRH neurons yet known. The importance of kisspeptin has been documented in humans as well as non-human animal models, ranging from monkeys, sheep, and rodents to numerous fish species, thus signifying a highly conserved nature of its reproductive function. Importantly, kisspeptin neurons seem to mediate many of the regulatory effects of other signals, whether they are metabolic, circadian, ... Read more
