Kisspeptin-54 is essential for human fertility as it is involved in the surge of luteinizing hormone and the maturation off oocytes. Studies have shown that a mutation inactivating the kisspeptin signal leads to infertility in women as there is no surge in the level of luteinizing hormone and so oocytes are not matured and released. In this study 53 women were injected with Kisspeptin-54 following superovulation; it was hoped that the Kisspeptin-54 would cause a surge in LH resulting in oocyte maturation. After 36 hours the oocytes were retrieved transvaginally, their maturation state was assessed and they were fertilized by intracytoplasmic sperm. Embryos were then formed from the fertilized oocyte. It was discovered that an injection of Kisspeptin-54 can increase the mean number of mature eggs produced by each patient and that it can induce oocyte maturation in patients with subfertility who are undergoing in vitro fertilization. In 92% of the patients who were given the Kisspeptin injection the oocyte was fertilized and the subsequent embryo was successfully implanted in the patient’s uterus.
