IGF-1 Acts Through Kiss1-Expressing Cells to Influence Metabolism and Reproduction

It never ceases to amaze us how many physiological processes involve the kisspeptin and GnRH systems. This symposium will present the current understanding of how kisspeptin and GnRH ultimately regulates fertility through the central control of neurotransmitter and hormonal systems and related downstream effectors.
