Kisspeptin 10mg Lyophilized Vial
Kisspeptin is a research-grade peptide known for its role in reproductive health, acting as a key regulator in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. This potent 10mg lyophilized vial of Kisspeptin is designed for controlled reconstitution and dosing in research settings, facilitating studies in endocrine regulation and fertility.
Key Features
- Research-grade peptide (batch-tested for purity)
- Critical role in the activation of the HPG axis
- Enhances the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
- Supplied lyophilized for custom reconstitution and dosing
- Typical format: 10mg vial for research use
Product Specifications
- Product Name: Kisspeptin (Purity: >99+% HPLC)
- Category: Reproductive health research compound
- Supplied in: Lyophilized powder in sterile vial + 3ml bac water
- Typical Administration (Research): Subcutaneous or intravenous injection (as per study protocol)
- Storage (Reconstituted): Refrigerate at 2–8 °C; use within 30 days; avoid freeze-thaw cycles
Mechanism of Action
Kisspeptin is essential for the activation of the GnRH neurons, initiating the reproductive hormone cascade. By stimulating the release of GnRH, Kisspeptin indirectly affects the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), playing a crucial role in regulating puberty and fertility.
Key Benefits of Kisspeptin
- Enhanced Sexual Function & Libido: Clinical trials showed that kisspeptin acts on key brain regions to increase sexual arousal, libido, and drive in both men and women with low sex drive (Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder - HSDD).
- Increased Penile Tumescence: Studies demonstrated that kisspeptin increases penile rigidity (by up to 56%) in response to sexual stimuli.
- Boosted Reproductive Hormones: It stimulates the release of GnRH, resulting in increased LH and FSH, which elevates natural testosterone production.
- Infertility Management: It shows potential for triggering ovulation in women, including those at high risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
- Improved Mood and Emotional Response: Studies found that kisspeptin may boost "happiness about sex" and improve romantic, emotional brain processing.
- Possible Anti-Tumor Effects: Early research suggests it can inhibit the metastasis of certain cancers.
Suggested Research Notes & Dosing Context
- Reconstitution: Reconstitute with 1–2 mL of Bacteriostatic Water (BAC) to the 10mg lyophilized vial.
- Dosing:
- Starting Dose: Commonly, a starting dose may range from 0.5 to 2.0 mg, depending on individual protocols and research objectives.
- Administration Example: For a dose of 1 mg, if 1 mL of BAC is used for reconstitution, draw 0.1 mL from the vial (which will equal 1 mg of Kisspeptin).
- Concentration:
- After reconstitution with 1 mL of BAC: 10 mg/1 mL = 10 mg/mL.
- Volume per dose: For a 1 mg dose, draw 0.1 mL from the vial.
Research Insights
Kisspeptin is a pivotal peptide that has garnered attention for its role in stimulating reproductive hormone release and addressing conditions linked to fertility and sexual maturation. Investigating Kisspeptin can provide valuable insights into the neuroendocrine mechanisms governing reproduction and associated behaviors.---
Possible Observations and Adverse Events
- Potential minor side effects may include injection site reactions or transient changes in hormone levels.
- Safety profiles should be established in study participants through careful monitoring of endocrine responses and overall health indicators.
Storage, Stability and Handling After Reconstitution
- Store reconstituted solutions in the refrigerator at 2–8 °C and use within 30 days; do not freeze.
- Protect from light and minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
- Employ aseptic techniques during handling.
Safety and Handling
- For laboratory research use only.
- Follow institutional biosafety and chemical handling protocols.
- Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, lab coats and safety goggles.
