Kisspeptins were recently identified as hypothalamic neuropeptides that control GnRH release at pubertal onset and in adults via the activation of KISS-1 receptor (KISS1R). Here, we have tested whether the fetal activation of the gonadotropic axis is related to the hypothalamic expression of kisspeptins and KISS1R.
