The effect of a synthetic analog of kisspeptin 1, a peptide involved in the regulation of the hypothalamicpituitary- gonadal (HPG) stress axis, on the cortisol level of Danio rerio fish was investigated. Kisspeptin 1 was administered at doses of 2 μg/kg and 8 μg/kg followed by resting for 1 h and 4 h. We found that kisspeptin at doses of 2 μg/kg and 8 μg/kg increased cortisol levels, with a significant spike in cortisol levels at 1 h post-injection.
