Background: Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism is characterised by hypogonadism in the context of low/inappropriately normal gonadotrophin levels. Congenital Hypogonadotrophic Hypogonadism (CHH) occurs due to disrupted GnRH neuronal migration, or impaired hypothalamic GnRH secretion or action. However, no direct test of hypothalamic GnRH neuronal function currently exists. Kisspeptin-54 is a neuropeptide that stimulates endogenous hypothalamic GnRH release. Thus, we investigated w...
