Kisspeptin immunoreactive neurons in the equine hypothalamus Interactions with GnRH neuronal system. To determine if kisspeptin could be implicated in the control of reproduction in equine species, we studied the distribution of kisspeptin neurons and their anatomical interactions with GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus of pony mares. Brains were collected in three pony mares between 2 and 4h after ovulation. One major population of kisspeptin immunoreactive cell bodies was found in the arcuate nucleus (ARC), where they extended from the middle of the nucleus to the premammillary recess. Kisspeptin immunoreactive varicose fibers extended from the preoptic area to the mammillary nuclei, with imp...
