Disclosure: Nothing to Disclose
Victor M. Navarro, PhD. My expertise lies in reproductive biology and endocrinology, with special attention to the neuroendocrine regulation of the reproductive axis, and in particular to the mechanisms responsible for the control of sexual maturation and puberty onset in mammals. In this general context, the outcome of my research activity has significantly contributed to the characterization of the physiological role of kisspeptins and Kiss1r in the control of key aspects of reproductive function, including puberty onset, sexual differentiation of the brain, gonadotropin secretion, positive and negative feedback effects of sex steroids, ovulation and metabolic gating of fertility
