Abstract :

NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) is the accumulation of excess fat in the liver. It is associated with metabolic disorders such as hyperlipidaemia, obesity, hypertension, and Diabetes Mellitus. Kisspeptin (KP) is a naturally occurring hormone in the human body produced from the kisspeptin neurons of the hypothalamus. It is encoded by a gene KISS1 and acts on the KISS 1R receptor. The name originates from the iconic chocolate “HERSHEY’S KISSESS, Pennsylvania”. It has shown promising results in the treatment of NAFLD and progression to NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis), Cirrhosis and HCC (Hepato Cellular Carcinoma). High fat diet (HFD) fed mice/western diet i.e., NAFLD induced mice are treated with Kisspeptin which showed no fatty liver. When KISS1R receptor is deleted from the liver cells of NAFLD induced mice it developed fatty liver even though they are treated with KP’s. In patients diagnosed with NAFLD and NASH there is increased level of Kisspeptin as a part of body’s physiological mechanism. Additionally, it has many advantages on different organs. No side effects were seen with Kisspeptins in all the indications.
Keywords: Kisspeptins, NAFLD, Steatosis, Cirrhosis, Carcinoma, NASH, Hershey’s Kissess.
