Effect of neurokinin B and dynorphin A on kisspeptin-10 secretion from the anterior pituitary cells of pubescent ewes <i>in vitro</i>
In contrast to Dyn A, NKB can directly affect KiSS-10 secretion from the pituitary cells of pubescent ewes in a way dependent on the time of exposure to this neuropeptide and its concentration in the culture medium. This phenomenon may indicate a potential role of NKB in the initiation of reproductive activity, which leads to the achievement of sexual maturity in the optimal developmental window.
