Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured1

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    Summary
    zebrafish kiss1 was expressed in brain, intestine, adipose tissue and testis.

    This result measures the body's own Kisspeptin-10. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Kisspeptin-10 was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Kisspeptin-10.

    In teleost genomes, Kiss1 protein sequences were poorly conserved except in the region representing kisspeptin‑10.

    In plain wordsIn computer analysis of fish genomes, Kiss1 proteins differed between species, except in the kisspeptin‑10 region.

    Summary
    In contrast to their mammalian homologues, teleost Kiss1 protein sequences were poorly conserved with the exception of the region representing kisspeptin-10.

    In this study, Kisspeptin-10 was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Kisspeptin-10.
