Article Synopsis
- Kisspeptin is a peptide linked to reproductive development and is produced by the KiSS-1 gene, with levels being significantly higher during normal pregnancies compared to nonpregnant women.
- A study measured kisspeptin levels in patients with malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) and found elevated levels before chemotherapy, which decreased following treatment.
- Plasma kisspeptin levels were strongly correlated with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels, indicating that kisspeptin could serve as a potential tumor marker in malignant GTN cases.
