Reproductive Endocrinology
HPG axis modulation
The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis regulates reproductive hormone secretion and function.
Biological pathway
Kisspeptin activates KISS1R on GnRH neurons, increasing GnRH and downstream LH/FSH signalling.
Evidence summary
Kisspeptin has strong mechanistic and reproductive endocrinology evidence, with early human research in sexual desire.
Limitations
Hormonal signalling effects do not establish broad treatment effectiveness for libido or fertility.
