Background: Kisspeptin (encoded by the KISS1 gene in humans), originally described as a puberty onset regulating neuropeptide, is involved in many homeostatic systems, including nutrition status, glucose homeostasis, locomotor activity, etc. Thus, in today’s obesity epidemic, kisspeptin is gaining increasing interest as a research target.Aim: To construct an updated interactome of genetic determinants of obesity, including the kisspeptin si...

Aim: This study aims to screen the genes/gene products associated with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to predict any possible interactions among them with high confidence. These interactions networks could contribute to the better understanding of PCOS pathophysiology and help generate new hypothesesMethods: Systems medicine approach using STRING v10.5 database and confidence level 0.7, interactions networking.Results: We...
