Thomson AC (2024) Puberty-associated changes in Kiss1r, MC3R, and MC4R in the ewe. West Virginia Univ Thesis. Objective: To examine kisspeptin receptor (Kiss1r) mRNA expression in gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons and melanocortin 3 and 4 receptor (MC3R/MC4R) expression in kisspeptin neurons across pubertal development. Summary: Kiss1r expression in GnRH neurons increased with development. In […]
