Find out more about the impacts that VMS have on women. Oestrogen and neurokinin B (NKB) modulate KNDy neurons in a delicate balance, contributing to body temperature regulation.
Oestrogen and neurokinin B (NKB) modulate KNDy neurons in a delicate balance, contributing to body temperature regulation. KNDy neurons are stimulated by NKB and inhibited by oestrogen.1,2,3
