ContextNeurokinin B (NKB) is obligate for human puberty, but its role in adult female gonadotropin secretion and ovarian follicle growth is unknown.ObjectiveTo investigate antagonism of NKB on pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)…

Purpose of reviewIatrogenic ovarian damage can occur after chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery for cancer as well as for non-malignant conditions. This review describes the effects of such treatment on antimullerian hormone (AMH) and the…

BACKGROUND: Patients with loss-of-function mutation in neurokinin B (NKB) and its receptor show hypogonadotropic hypogonadism characterised by failure to progress through puberty, indicating the involvement of this newly described hypothala…

Human reproduction update ·doi:10.1093/humupd/dmu009

BackgroundThe discovery of kisspeptin as key central regulator of GnRH secretion has led to a new level of understanding of the neuroendocrine regulation of human reproduction. The related discovery of the kisspeptin-neurokinin B-dynorphin …

Pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is crucial to normal reproductive function and abnormalities in pulse frequency give rise to reproductive dysfunction. Kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB), neuropeptides secreted by the same neu…

Interleukin-11 (IL-11) up-regulates the proliferative and invasive capacity of many cancers. Coexpression of glycoprotein 130 (GP130) and IL-11 receptor alpha (IL-11Ralpha) is necessary for high-affinity binding of IL-11 to IL-11Ralpha. Thi…
