Tested in people

A human trial worked out how much to take and how often, so a dosing schedule is shown.

The human evidence for Kisspeptin-54 used the intravenous route. The draw worked out here assumes a subcutaneous injection, so the amount is not a direct read-across.

Published research contexts for Kisspeptin-54 describe 100400 mcg per administration. Descriptive only, not a recommendation.

About 20–30 minutes; the decay chart is largely illustrative here.

Human studies delivered kisspeptin-54 by intravenous infusion to probe gonadotropin release; no subcutaneous schedule is established, so no schedule table is shown.

Modelled level — 3x per week

1× is the peak after a single dose.

Steady-state peak
1.00× single dose
