Kisspeptin (10mg) Dosage Protocol
Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide that plays a crucial role in regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. It stimulates GnRH release, which triggers LH and FSH secretion, making it important in reproductive research.
Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 5 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL)
50-100 mcg per injection for research
At 5 mg/mL: 1 unit = 50 mcg, 2 units = 100 mcg
Lyophilized: -20°C; Reconstituted: 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks
| Week | Daily Dose | Units (per injection) |
|---|---|---|
| Single dose studies | 50-100 mcg | 1-2 units per injection |
| Research protocols | Variable | Per study design |
| Infusion studies | 0.1-1 nmol/kg/hr | IV infusion |
- 1Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe
- 2Inject slowly down the vial wall to prevent foaming
- 3Gently swirl until fully dissolved - do not shake
- 4Label with date and concentration, refrigerate immediately
Kisspeptin binds to GPR54 (KISS1R) receptors in the hypothalamus, stimulating GnRH neurons. This triggers the release of LH and FSH from the pituitary, which regulate gonadal function. Research has explored its role in puberty, fertility, and reproductive disorders.
