New Developments in Kisspeptin, Neurokinin B and Dynorphin A Regulation of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone

The recent discovery of kisspeptin, neurokinin B and dynorphin A in a subset of neurons in the hypothalamus which regulate the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone has revolutionized our understanding of the regulation of reproduction in man and animals. In this 'Neuroendocrinology' special issue four commissioned reviews from leaders in the field describe the latest developments and set the scene for further research and new discoveries.
