The present article reviews recent studies of monkeys and, in some cases, humans that have been conducted to examine the role of kisspeptin-GPR54 signaling in the regulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis in higher primates. This area of peptide biology was initiated in 2003 by the discovery that loss of function mutations of GPR54 in man were associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism...
In humans, circulating leptin levels are low in early childhood and rise until puberty, whereas the reverse occurs for the soluble leptin receptor (sOB-R). In women, leptin remains high and sOB-R remains low, but in men leptin declines after adolescence and sOB-R increases. These observations suggest that leptin may regulate the production of sOB-R, and that the increased testosterone in adolescent...
