The impact of undernutrition on KNDy (kisspeptin/neurokinin B/dynorphin) neurons in female lambs
Harlow, K. L., Griesgraber, M. J., Seman, A. D., Shuping, S. L., Sommer, J. R., Griffith, E. H., … Nestor, C. C. (2022, May 17). JOURNAL OF NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY, Vol. 34.
author keywords: dynorphin; kisspeptin; LH; neurokinin B; undernutrition; xxxx; fx1
MeSH headings : Animals; Arcuate Nucleus of Hypothalamus / metabolism; Body Weight; Dynorphins / metabolism; Female; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / metabolism; Kisspeptins / metabolism; Malnutrition / metabolism; Neurokinin B / metabolism; Neurons / metabolism; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Sheep
TL;DR:
The idea that KNDy neurons are important for regulating reproduction during undernutrition in female sheep is supported, as lower mRNA abundance for kisspeptin within K NDy neurons of FR lambs compared to controls with no significant change in mRNA for NKB or dynorphin is observed.

Effects of genetic selection for early puberty on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis in gilts
Harlow, K. L., Renwick, A., Shuping, S., Sommer, J., Knauer, M., & Nestor, C. (2020, November). JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, Vol. 98, pp. 212–212.
author keywords: puberty; gilt; neuroendocrine
