a Hormone called kiss-Patin (kisspeptin) enhances the activity of brain areas associated with sexual desire. To such conclusion the group of scientists from Imperial College London. As shown by experts, hormone can be an effective treatment for low libido and other psychosexual disorders.
kiss-Patin, also known as the “hormone of kisses”, were first discovered in the mid 90-ies of the last century. In 2003, there have been several important studies that showed that kiss-Patin plays an important role in the regulation of reproductive function, especially in puberty.
In 2017, researchers from Imperial College London studied the role “kissing hormone” in the brain processes associated with emotion and sexual excitement. For this they introduced into the body by multiple men kiss-Patin by intravenous infusion. Subsequent MRI scan has helped to study the influence of this hormone on the activity of brain areas when viewing images of the couple.
it turned Out that the kiss-Patin enhances activity in areas of the brain, “involved” in romantic moments and moments of sexual arousal.
Some time ago, scientists from the UK were invited to participate in a study of 33 healthy young men who for 75 minutes were injected kiss-peptan or a placebo. During a subsequent MRI scan of the subjects passed the olfactory test (used popular women’s perfume) and attractiveness of persons. Men were asked to rate photos of women from the point of view of attraction.
it turned Out that the introduction into the organism of kiss-patina enhances the brain’s response to a “feminine” smell in a few key components of the limbic system that are involved in olfactory processing. Moreover, these same areas of the brain involved in the stimulation of sexual arousal.
the Introduction of the kiss-peptide also led to a curious neurological effect during the experiment with pictures. Is activation of the limbic systems, the researchers observed increased activity in certain prefrontal areas of the brain, which are known to be responsible for the perception of facial beauty.
in addition, the study showed that the hormone was most effective in men with low libido. This indicates the therapeutic potential of kiss-patina as a means of treating men with this condition and other psychosexual disorders.
“Psychosexual disorders seriously affect the health and can be very unpleasant not only for the men but for their partners. Our study shows that the kiss-Patin can stimulate brain activity associated with sexual desire,” says co-author Dr Alexander Comninos (Comninos, Alexander).
it is Important to note that human sexual response is incredibly complex and regulates a wide range of factors, from body language to other hormonal components. Of course, the kiss-Patin may not be the only factor that alone controls sexual arousal in the brain.
However, the effects noted in these studies, significant. And for men suffering from low libido, the effect of kissaten can be akin to “mental viagra” that increases the activity in brain areas associated with arousal and attraction.
In the future, scientists would like to study the effect of “hormone kisses” on men with low libido and women.
Scientific article on the results of a study published in JCI Insight.
Earlier, the “News.Science” (nauka.vesti.ru) wrote about how to increase the potency by a simple food Supplement, as researchers learned how to turn on and off libido with the help of magnetic stimulation, as well as dopamine helped to recover sexual desire in aging fruit flies.
