Tachykinin Peptides (Substance P, NKA, NKB) in Reproductive Hormone Control: Updated Review
Tachykinin neuropeptides, especially neurokinin B (NKB), regulate GnRH and gonadotropin secretion, with NKB's role in kisspeptin neurons establishing it as a key reproductive axis regulator alongside kisspeptin.
