Article Synopsis
- - Kisspeptin is crucial for puberty and reproduction, and animals lacking it often face infertility, but recent studies challenge this idea, showing that losing most Kiss1 neurons doesn’t stop reproduction.
- - The hypothesis is that minimal amounts of kisspeptin could still allow for reproduction, even in animals with drastically reduced Kiss1 expression, suggesting redundancy in its role.
- - Testing in a specific mouse model revealed that while male mice with severely reduced Kiss1 expression can still reproduce effectively, female mice require higher levels to maintain fertility and normal ovulation.
