DOI: 10.1177/1933719116653679
Abstract: Genetic studies in humans or in vivo studies using animals have shown that kisspeptin released from the hypothalamus controls secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from GnRH neurons, and subsequently GnRH induces gonadotropin secretion from the… read more here.
