KISSPEPTIN (5mg)
Kisspeptin (formerly metastin) is a neuropeptide encoded by the KISS1 gene and studied as a critical upstream regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. By stimulating GnRH neurons, it drives pulsatile LH and FSH release, making it a foundational research compound in reproductive endocrinology and hormone biology.
Mechanism of Action
• Binds to the kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R/GPR54) on GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus, triggering pulsatile GnRH secretion in animal models.
• Research shows downstream stimulation of LH and FSH from the anterior pituitary, supporting gonadal steroidogenesis.
• Investigated for its role in pubertal onset and reproductive axis maintenance.
• Studied for modulation of estrogen and progesterone feedback loops in female reproductive biology.
• Preclinical research suggests influence on sexual behavior and libido through central neurological pathways.
Research Areas
• Hypogonadism and testosterone biology research.
• Fertility and reproductive cycle regulation studies.
• Hypothalamic amenorrhea and reproductive axis restoration models.
• HPG axis stimulation research as an alternative to HCG-based approaches.
• Puberty regulation and reproductive aging biology.
Presentation and Storage
