A new study has found a hormone known as kisspeptin to play a vital role in restoring female fertility. Therapy based on kisspeptin might serve as a less risky but more efficient treatment for infertility in women.

The phenomenon involves the stimulation of two key sex hormones which are essential for the proper functioning of menstruation cycle. Lack of kisspeptin brings sexual immaturity in females. The research was comprised of women in whom menstruation had been stopped which showed their infertility.

All of these were injected by kisspeptin or saline by the researchers. After some time when the levels of two sex hormones-follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) of the women had been checked, there was a 48-fold increase in LH and 16-fold increase inFSH, in the women, who received kispeptin, compared to those who were given the saline.

A previous research has found kisspeptin therapy efficient in the production of vital sex hormones in fertile women but the new one has clearly demonstrated that kisspeptin could restart the production of sex hormones essential for ovulation and fertility in the women who were declared as infertile.

Unlike other treatments to address infertility it is safer and more efficient.
