Kisspeptin10

Kisspeptin-10 – Overview

Kisspeptin-10 is a short peptide derived from the kisspeptin family, which plays a key role in reproductive and hormonal regulation.
It is primarily studied for stimulating the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), thereby influencing sex hormone production in both men and women.

How Kisspeptin-10 Works

Kisspeptin-10 works by:

✔ Stimulating GnRH release

• Activates the hypothalamus to secrete GnRH

• GnRH triggers the pituitary to release LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone)

✔ Regulating reproductive hormones

• Supports testosterone production in men

• Supports estrogen and progesterone regulation in women

✔ Influencing fertility & sexual function

• Plays a role in ovulation and sperm production

• May enhance sexual desire and reproductive health indirectly

✔ Modulating metabolic and mood effects

• Kisspeptin pathways can influence energy balance, mood, and reproductive behaviors
