"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,
hormonal, or stress. This places kisspeptin neurons in a unique position to be key
nodal points and conduits for conveying numerous endogenous and exogenous signals
to the reproductive axis"--Publisher's description
