when combined with SL, suppressed Kiss1 expression in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus in 4-month females, whereas HFD up to 10-month also reduced LH responses to kisspeptin-10.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
We study here the metabolic and gonadotropic impact of sequential obesogenic insults, namely postnatal overnutrition [by rearing in small litters (SL)] and high-fat diet (HFD) after weaning, in gonadal-intact and ovariectomized (OVX) female rats.
This result measures the body's own Kisspeptin-10. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
