Narayanaswamy Shakunthala , Vimalesvaran Sunitha , Yang Lisa , Prague Julia K , Miras Alexander D , Franks Stephen , Meeran Karim , Dhillo Waljit S

Case history: An 18-year-old Caucasian female presented with primary amenorrhoea after her younger sister aged 16 years old started menstruating. She had a normal childhood and progressed through puberty normally, with no past medical history or family history. BMI was 22.6 with a normal examination including secondary sexual characteristics (Tanner Stage 5) and no signs of hyperandrogenism.Investigations and Results: Bloods showed an elevated LH:FSH rat...

Investigating the interaction between KNDy peptides on gonadotrophin release in humans – novel findings with therapeutic importance

Narayanaswamy Shakunthala , Prague Julia K , Jayasena Channa N , Papadopoulou Deborah A , Mizamtsidi Maria , Shah Amar J , Bassett Paul , Comninos Alexander N , Abbara Ali , Bloom Stephen R , Veldhuis Johannes D , Dhillo Waljit S

Background: Hypothalamic KNDy neurons have recently been identified as key regulators of reproductive function by releasing three neuropeptides namely kisspeptin, neurokinin B (NKB) and dynorphin. Animal studies show they interact to control pulsatile GnRH release, which is vital for fertility. In animals, kisspeptin stimulates, NKB modulates and the opioid dynorphin inhibits GnRH pulsatility. However, the interaction of these peptides has never been studied in humans. To inve...

A single bolus of the novel kisspeptin analogue, MVT-602, induces a prolonged LH surge compared to kisspeptin-54 during the follicular phase in healthy women

Clarke Sophie A , Abbara Ali , Chia Eng Pei , Phylactou Maria , Papadopoulou Deborah , Muralidhara Koteshwara , Mills Edouard , Jones Sophie , Pratibha Machenahalli C , Chia Germaine , Yang Lisa , Izzi-Engbeaya Chioma , Sykes Mark , Prague Julia K , Comninos Alexander N , Dhillo Waljit S

Background: Kisspeptin-54 (KP54) stimulates hypothalamic GnRH release. The kisspeptin analogue, MVT-602, has a longer half-life (t1/2108min) than KP54 (t1/228mins). MVT-602 potently stimulates gonadotrophin release in men. We sought to determine for the first time the effect of MVT-602 on gonadotrophin release in healthy women.Methods: A two-phase dose-finding study was carried out in 9 healthy women, 18–35 yrs with regular men...

Kisspeptin stimulates insulin secretion and modulates serum metabolites in humans

Background: Limited data exists on the hormonal mediators connecting metabolism and reproduction. Animal studies show that the reproductive hormone, kisspeptin, may also be important in metabolism. We investigated the effects of kisspeptin on human metabolism for the first time, to explore possible kisspeptin-mediated links between reproduction and metabolism.Methods: We performed intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTTs) in 15 healthy men (age 25&#17...
