Kisspeptins are considered the main neuromodulators of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons (GnRH). Neurons expressing the Kiss1 gene located in the anteroventral periventricular nucleus and the rostral periventricular nucleus (AVPV/PeN) and arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH) secrete kisspeptins, coexpress estrogen receptor alpha, and project to GnRH neurons. Hypothalamic kisspep…
It is well known that nutritional status affects directly the reproduction, since an adequate amount of energy is necessary for the onset of puberty, establishment of estral cyclicity and fertility. The regulation of food intake and energy balance are modulated by leptin, which acts mainly on the arcuate nucleus (ARH). Leptin modulates the activity of orexigenic neurons, neuropeptide Y an…
Growth hormone (GH) is an important factor involved in the regulation of multiple biological functions. However, although the influence of GH is widespread throughout several organs and tissues, the effects of GH on brain functions such as those related to reproductive functions are still elusive. GH deficiency or resistance can be related to late puberty onset, lack of sexual maturation …

The growth hormone (GH) is the most abundant hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Evidences indicates the GH involvement on reproduction. GH deficiency induces puberty delay, which may even lead to infertility. Our group has recently demonstrated that GH signaling in cells that express the Kiss1 gene modulates the expression of HPG axis essential genes, such as the gene that …
Reproduction is an intricate process that involves countless hormones and neuropeptides, and is modulated in its various steps by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The HPG axis is controlled majorly by gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, that are mainly influenced by kisspeptin and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which are secreted by neurons of the central nervous…
It is wellknown that nutritional status affects directly the reproduction, since an adequate reserve amount of energy is necessary for the onset of puberty and fertility. The regulation of food intake and energy balance are modulated by leptin, which acts primarily on the arcuate nucleus (ARC), inhibiting the synthesis and secretion of orexigen neurotransmitters neuropeptide Y (NPY) and t…
