Kisspeptin (KiSS) and its related receptors (KiSS1R) have a critical role in the reproduction of mammals. The KiSS/KiSS1R system is expressed in numerous reproductive organs including the ovary. Here, we studied the expression of the KiSS/KiSS1R system and its functional role in rabbit corpora lutea (CL) at days 4 (early-), 9 (mid-), and 13 (late-stage) of pseudopregnancy. In vitro progesterone, prostaglandin (PG) F2α (PGF2α) and E2 (PGE2) productions and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (P ...[more]
