For Google Scholar, PubMed, and NCBI databases we used the following key search terms: "neurological adverse effects", "COVID-19 vaccination", "SARS-CoV-2", CNS complications, and CNS adverse effects.
Background: Kisspeptin was initially known as metastin for its role in suppressing metastasis in melanoma and breast cancer. Later, based on its ability to stimulate GPR54, its importance in maintaining an intact hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis was recognised, which is the basis for the widespread application of the drug in several conditions such as secondary amenorrhea, regulation of puberty onset, ovarian function, trophoblast invasion, fertility regulation, parturition, and lactation. This systematic study aims to evaluate the current status of kisspentin in clinical trials.
