Hypothalamic kisspeptin/neurokinin B/dynorphin (KNDy) neurones regulate LH pulsatility. It is widely accepted that the menopausal hot flush (HF) consistently synchronizes with the LH pulse, implicating the hypothalamic KNDy neurones in generating LH pulsatility and HF. Using a modern immunoassay and mathematical modeling, we investigated if the HF and LH pulse were consistently synchronized in menopausal women.
