Abstract

We have hisitochemically and molecular biologically studied on the morphofunctional role of kisspeptin and kisspeptin neurons in the hypothalamus which integrate the information about the reproduction, energy balance and stress response in the brain and rely to the HPG axis, and revealed an important role of kisspeptin neurons in the onset of puberty.
