Follow

Abstract

The literature review is devoted to the role of kisspeptins in aging. There are data about the involvement of kisspeptins in the development of menopause and ovarian aging, as well as metabolic syndrome. In addition, the role of kisspeptins in the development of age-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease is described. Involvement of kisspeptins and kisspeptin receptors in the development of malignant neoplasms are postulated. Evidence of the antimetastatic properties of the kisspeptin protein, as well as the possibility of using it as a tumor marker, is presented.
