A Population of Kisspeptin/Neurokinin B Neurons in the Arcuate Nucleus May Be the Central Target of the Male Effect Phenomenon in Goats

A Population of Kisspeptin/Neurokinin B Neurons in the Arcuate Nucleus May Be the Central Target of the Male Effect Phenomenon in Goats

Exposure of females to a male pheromone accelerates pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion in goats. Recent evidence has suggested that neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) containing kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB) play a pivotal role in the control of GnRH secretion. Therefore...
