Mechanism of fertility regulation

Experts from New Zealand found out how to  "turn on" in the brain the process of the normal activity of the reproductive system.

The mechanism implies the interaction of the hormone kisspeptin with its receptor Gpr54 in a particular group of neurons (GnRH) in the brain.

Scientists from the University of Otago in the course of experiments on laboratory animals have found that mice lacking the receptor Gpr54, did not reach puberty and remained infertile. However, with the introduction of Gpr54 in the group of GnRH neurons animals again become fertile.

The researchers suggest that this finding will help in the treatment of reproductive system related to an imbalance of sex hormones in the human body.
