Studies that did not test the peptide alone3

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.

  1. 01LabNot a test of Kisspeptin-10 aloneIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In cell lines, activation of GPR54 by the KiSS1 gene product induced changes of cell morphology, including cytoplasmic condensation and membrane protrusions.

    In plain wordsIn cells, activating the kisspeptin receptor changed cell shape. The activating compound is not named in the abstract.

    1 context sentence
    Summary · context
    We show here that the activation of GPR54 induced immediate and profound changes of cell morphology, including cytoplasmic condensation and formation of unpolarized plasma membrane protrusions.

    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.

  2. 02LabNot a test of Kisspeptin-10 aloneIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In cell lines, the morphology changes after GPR54 activation depended on Rho and Rho-associated kinase activation.

    In plain wordsIn cells, shape changes after kisspeptin receptor activation depended on the proteins Rho and ROCK.

    Summary · context
    These events were dependent on Rho and Rho-Associated Kinase (ROCK) activation.

    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.

  3. 03LabNot a test of Kisspeptin-10 aloneIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In 293 cells, ROCK activation contributed to GPR54-mediated apoptosis, additively to and independently of ERK activation.

    In plain wordsIn cells, the ROCK protein helped drive cell death after kisspeptin receptor activation, in addition to ERK.

    Summary · context
    The activation of ROCK also contributed to GPR54-mediated apoptosis in 293 cells, and its effect was additive to and independent of ERK activation.
