Alterations of circulating and placental levels of kisspeptin have been associated with gestational diseases. However, there are still no studies on the placental and decidual expression of Kiss1 and its receptor Kiss1r in maternal hypothyroidism, which is the aim of this work. We demonstrate that the fetoplacental restriction caused by hypothyroidism in rats is associated with a reduction in the Kiss1r expression and reduced Kiss1 and Kiss1r mRNA levels in the decidua and/or placenta. This demonstrate that fetoplacental restriction in hypothyroid rats is linked with a suppression of the kisspeptin/Kiss1r system at the maternal-fetal interface.
