The roles of kisspeptin and neurokinin B in GnRH pulse generation in humans, and their potential clinical application

Richard A. Anderson et al.

Summary: Research shows that the NKB system plays a crucial role in modulating kisspeptin secretion and GnRH. Clinical studies demonstrate that continuous infusion of kisspeptin-10 at receptor-saturating levels can increase LH pulse frequency.

Acute Effects of Kisspeptin Administration on Bone Metabolism in Healthy Men

Alexander N. Comninos et al.

Summary: This study aims to assess the effects of kisspeptin on human bone metabolism. In vitro experiments showed that kisspeptin promoted osteoblast differentiation and inhibited osteoclastic resorptive activity. Clinical experiments showed that kisspeptin increased bone formation markers without affecting bone resorption markers.

Summary: The anatomy and morphology of GnRH neurons present both joy and challenges in research. Understanding their anatomy is crucial for understanding reproductive function regulation, and comparative aspects exist in different species. Future research needs to address unanswered questions.

Functions of galanin, spexin and kisspeptin in metabolism, mood and behaviour

Edouard G. Mills et al.

Summary: Bioactive peptides galanin, spexin and kisspeptin share a common ancestral origin and play crucial roles in metabolism, pancreatic beta-cell function, energy homeostasis, mood and behavior. Therapeutic interventions targeting these peptides' signaling pathways may offer potential treatments for conditions ranging from obesity to mood disorders, but further research is needed to address gaps and controversies in their therapeutic potential.

Elinzanetant (NT-814), a Neurokinin 1,3 Receptor Antagonist, Reduces Estradiol and Progesterone in Healthy Women

Steve Pawsey et al.

Summary: The study found that elinzanetant can lengthen the menstrual cycle by suppressing reproductive hormone levels such as luteinizing hormone and estradiol, and does not produce vasomotor symptoms during treatment.

The Relationship Between Bone and Reproductive Hormones Beyond Estrogens and Androgens

Edouard G. Mills et al.

Summary: Reproductive hormones play a key role in the growth and maintenance of mammalian skeleton, impacting bone density and risk of fractures. Recent research on traditional reproductive hormones as well as new reproductive neuro peptides and hormones has enhanced our understanding of the interaction between bone and the reproductive system.
