Two populations of kisspeptin neurons, located in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) and anteroventral periventricular nucleus (AVPV), are considered to be involved in generating GnRH pulse and surge respectively. The present study aimed to determine the region-specific enhancer for ARC Kiss1 gene expression by in vivo reporter assay using transgenic (Tg) mice. Three GFP reporter constructs (long-, middle-, and short-length) were generated by insertion of GFP cDNA in ...
