Kisspeptin regulates steroidogenesis and spermiation in anuran amphibian
6 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Kisspeptin (Kp) system has a recognized role in the control of gonadotropic axis, at multiple levels. Recently, a major focus of research has been to assess any direct activity of this system on testis physiology. Using the amphibian anuran, Pelophylax esculentus, as animal model, we demonstrate – for the first time in non-mammalian vertebrate – that testis expresses both Kiss-1 and Gpr54 proteins during...
