A first kiss at puberty: it’s all in the mind
Tue 9 September 2014
The Physiological Laboratory
A better understanding of the physiology of the reproductive system will have a big impact in many aspects of human health. Puberty is a critical event in the development of fertility when a variety of physical and hormonal changes take place. Initiation of puberty is driven by events happening in the brain and our research has identified a protein, called kisspeptin, which is absolutely required for sexual maturation at puberty. Kisspeptin acts as a key regulator of mammalian fertility and may be used in the future to improve IVF methods and for the clinical treatment of reproductive disorders.
