  1. 01LabIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In cultured rat dorsal root ganglion neurons, bath application of kisspeptin‑10 increased intracellular free calcium levels.

    In plain wordsIn rat nerve cells in the lab, kisspeptin‑10 raised calcium levels inside the cells.

    Summary
    Bath application of kisspeptin-10 increased intracellular free calcium levels ([Ca2+]i).
  2. 02LabIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In cultured rat DRG neurons without extracellular calcium, kisspeptin induced an attenuated but still significant increase in [Ca2+]i.

    In plain wordsIn rat nerve cells in the lab, kisspeptin still raised internal calcium without outside calcium, but less strongly.

    Outcome
    Increase[Ca2+]i without extracellular calcium

    Summary
    In the absence of extracellular calcium, the kisspeptin induced an attenuated but still significant increase in [Ca2+]i.
  3. 03LabIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In cultured rat DRG neurons, kisspeptin‑10 still increased [Ca2+]i in the presence of a PKC inhibitor.

    In plain wordsIn rat nerve cells in the lab, the calcium response to kisspeptin continued when PKC was blocked.

    Outcome
    Increase[Ca2+]i with PKC inhibitor
