Abstract
Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide responsible for controlling the synthesis of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The G-protein-coupled receptor 54/kisspeptin 1 receptor (GPR54/KISS1R) is involved in its action. The comprehension of kisspeptin and its actions represents a significant breakthrough in the field of reproductive biology. Kisspeptins play a crucial role in the development and optimal functioning of the reproductive system in both female and male. Additionally, it contributes to the onset of puberty, regulating feedback processes, and influencing sexual desire and arousal. It regulates a number of reproductive functions in women, including ovulation, lactation, ovarian development, follicle development, oocyte maturation, and pregnancy via the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Spermatogenesis, sperm function, Leydig cells, and reproductive behaviour are all impacted by it in men. Infertility and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are among the diseases linked to kisspeptin dysregulation, according to the research. For potential future use in diagnosing and treating problems, it may be helpful to understand the mechanisms behind kisspeptin's effects on the reproductive system. This review focuses on the regulatory function of kisspeptin on the HPG axis and the impact of kisspeptin on reproductive processes in both female and male.
