Werkingsmechanisme
Kisspeptin-10
Kisspeptin-10 comprises the ten C-terminal amino acids sufficient for binding to the KISS1R receptor (also GPR54). KISS1R is a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed predominantly on GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus. Activation signals through the Gq/11-phospholipase C pathway to release gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which in turn drives the pituitary to secrete luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Kisspeptin signaling is regarded as an indispensable trigger of puberty; inactivating mutations in KISS1R are associated with absent puberty (idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism). Beyond the reproductive axis, KISS1R expression is described in limbic brain regions, discussed as a possible mechanism for the effects on sexual and emotional processing observed in imaging studies.
Plecanatid
Plecanatide is structurally analogous to the body's own uroguanylin and, like it, activates the GC-C receptor at the gut surface, raising cGMP and fluid secretion. Its pH-dependent activity shifts the effect toward the proximal small intestine.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Kisspeptin-10 and Plecanatid?
- Kisspeptin-10 is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)", while Plecanatid is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)". Kisspeptin-10: Kisspeptin-10 is the shortest bioactive fragment (10 amino acids) of the endogenous neuropeptide kisspeptin, encoded by the KISS1 gene. It acts as an agonist at the KISS1R (GPR54) receptor and stimulates hypothalamic GnRH neurons, driving release of LH and FSH. Kisspeptin is a master switch of puberty and reproduction and is studied in humans, notably by the group of Waljit Dhillo (Imperial College London), in reproductive disorders and in sexual and emotional brain processing. It is not an approved drug. Plecanatid: Plecanatide is a 16-amino-acid analog of the body's own uroguanylin and a guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist. It is approved for chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and IBS with constipation (IBS-C). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Kisspeptin-10 or Plecanatid?
- The highest available evidence level is "Humane RCT" for Kisspeptin-10 and "Humane RCT" for Plecanatid. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Kisspeptin-10 and Plecanatid in Germany and the United States?
- Duitsland: Kisspeptin-10 — Niet goedgekeurd, Plecanatid — Niet goedgekeurd. Verenigde Staten: Kisspeptin-10 — Alleen onderzoek, Plecanatid — Op recept. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
