Kisspeptin is found in the ovary of different species including human and rat. We have recently described, through in vitro studies, that kisspeptin is under the control of sympathetic innervation of the ovary. Considering that ovarian activity of sympathetic nerves increases with ageing, it is possible that the ovarian kisspeptin also increases during this period. As a role of kisspeptin in folliculogenesis has been postulated, this increase in kisspeptin could parti...
