Kisspeptin is a hormone responsible for the regulation of puberty and reproductive function, but does it increase testosterone too? While there is some evidence that kisspeptin may influence testosterone levels, there is presently no reliable body of research to support this claim.
It’s important to consider the role that hormones play in general in regard to testosterone. Testosterone influences several bodily functions, including libido, sexual health, fertility, muscle mass and strength, and energy levels. A range of hormones within the body interact on many different levels — all necessary for proper hormonal balance — so any disruption to one may disrupt all.
One of these hormones is kisspeptin. It has been shown to be involved in the signals controlling puberty onset in both sexes as well as fertility in women. But what we don’t know if how kisspeptin impacts testosterone levels.
To date there have been a few studies that indicate that changes in kisspeptin signaling may influence testosterone levels; however these studies are extremely limited and more research needs to be conducted before any concrete conclusions can be drawn about its effects on testosterone production or action. While some animal studies suggest potential benefits from increased kisspeptin expression or signaling on hormone production and release more data from human clinical trials is needed before we can draw any conclusions about its effect on humans.
At present, there is no consistent evidence that kissing increases testosterone production or action directly or indirectly via changing other hormone pathways like such as LH (luteinizing hormone) FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone). It could even be possible that an increased kisspeptpin response might raise estrogen levels at the same time leading to lower overall relation with LH/FSH and thus lowering testosterone production - although this has never been reported explicitly and would need further exploration which doesn't exist so far.
Testosterone deficiency affects millions of men around the world each year and it can manifest itself through several different symptoms such as low libido, fatigue, difficulty gaining muscle mass, depression and infertility just name a few.
