Ovarian-derived kisspeptin regulates follicular development, oocyte maturation, and ovulation in autocrine or paracrine manner. a The possible role and mechanisms of kisspeptin in follicular development. b The possible role and mechanisms of kisspeptin in oocyte maturation. c The role and mechanisms of kisspeptin in ovulation.
