摘要
营养状态和有效的能量储存可影响生育能力,但是连接能量代谢和生殖的细胞和分子机制还不十分清楚。研究表明,kisspeptin/G蛋白耦联受体(GPR)54系统是生殖系统的主要调控者,但近年的研究发现,能量平衡状态以及一些代谢因子能影响下丘脑KISS-1或GPR54的表达,从而影响下丘脑-垂体-性腺轴的功能。因此,下丘脑kisspeptin/GPR54系统可能在将机体能量代谢信息传递给调控生殖轴的中枢过程中有重要作用。
Fertility is gated by nutrition and the availability of stored energy reserves, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms link energy stores and reproduction are not well understood. Several lines of evidence have substantiated the pivotal function of the kisspeptin/GPR54 system as a major gatekeeper of the reproductive axis. In addition, nutritional status and peripheral signal ( s ) can modulate the hypothalamic KISS-1/GPR54 system. Accordingly, the hypothalamic kisspeptin/GPR54 system might play a physiological role in relaying the state of body energy stores and metabolic fuels to the centers governing the reproductive axis.
