Modulation of body temperature and LH secretion by hypothalamic KNDy (kisspeptin, neurokinin B and dynorphin) neurons: A novel hypothesis on the mechanism of hot flushes
Open accessAbstract
Despite affecting millions of individuals, the etiology of hot flushes remains unknown. Here we review the physiology of hot flushes, CNS pathways regulating heat-dissipation effectors, and effects of estrogen on thermoregulation in animal models. Based on the marked changes in hypothalamic kisspeptin, neurokinin B and dynorphin (KNDy) neurons in postmenopausal women, we hypothesize that KNDy neurons play a role in the mechanism of flushes. In the rat, KNDy neurons project to preoptic thermoregulatory areas that express the neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R), the primary receptor for NKB. Furthermore, activation of NK3R in the median preoptic nucleus, part of the heat-defense pathway, reduces body temperature. Finally, ablation of KNDy neurons reduces cutaneous vasodilatation and partially blocks the effects of estrogen on thermoregulation. These data suggest that arcuate KNDy neurons relay estrogen signals to preoptic structures regulating heat-dissipation effectors, supporting the hypothesis that KNDy neurons participate in the generation of flushes.

TL;DR
This review proposes that hypothalamic KNDy (kisspeptin/neurokinin B/dynorphin) neurons relay estrogen-withdrawal signals to preoptic thermoregulatory pathways and thereby contribute to hot flushes. Evidence from postmenopausal women and rat models links KNDy/NK3R signaling to LH pulses, cutaneous vasodilatation, and body temperature control.
Key findings
- In postmenopausal women, infundibular (arcuate) neurons expressing estrogen receptor, kisspeptin, and NKB are hypertrophied, with increased NKB and kisspeptin gene expression; dynorphin neurons are enlarged but dynorphin mRNA-expressing neuron number is reduced. Ovariectomy induces and estrogen reverses these changes in monkeys.
- Rat KNDy neurons project to preoptic thermoregulatory areas, including the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO), which expresses NK3R. Microinfusion of the NK3R agonist senktide (90 pmol) into the MnPO reduced body temperature by about 1.5 °C.
- KNDy neuron ablation with NK3-SAP destroyed nearly all arcuate kisspeptin- and NKB-immunoreactive neurons and reduced arcuate dynorphin neurons by 76%. Ablated rats did not show the post-ovariectomy LH increase, had lower tail skin temperatures, better defended core temperature against heat, and did not respond to estrogen with reduced core temperature.
- Ovariectomized rats without estrogen showed a thermoneutral zone shifted to lower ambient temperatures, with the skin vasodilatation threshold 4 °C lower than in estrogen-treated rats. Estrogen reduced dark-phase tail skin temperature by >3 °C, and a small core temperature rise preceded 65%–76% of hot flushes in women.
Methods
- Narrative review and hypothesis paper synthesizing human postmortem hypothalamic studies, ovariectomy/estrogen-replacement studies in monkeys and rats, and the authors’ rat thermoregulation experiments.
- Data include postmortem hypothalamic tissue from premenopausal and postmenopausal women; ovariectomized monkeys and rats with estrogen replacement; rat tail skin and core temperature recordings; Fos immunocytochemistry; anterograde tract-tracing; NK3R agonist microinfusion; and NK3-SAP ablation.
- Main analysis is qualitative integration of anatomic, neuroendocrine, and thermoregulatory findings to support a KNDy-neuron mechanism for hot flushes.
Limitations
- Stated: whether rats actually experience hot flushes after estrogen withdrawal is unknown; rats cannot report flush onset, so studies rely on objective measures such as tail skin temperature.
- Stated: normal female rats show wide tail skin temperature fluctuations, and objective measures in women may reflect physiological events other than flushes; concordance between self-reported flushes and skin conductance can be limited.
- Evident: the central hypothesis is largely indirect and not directly tested in humans; much of the causal evidence comes from rat models, and the review notes that roles for other KNDy peptides, substance P, or GnRH neurons remain to be explored.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
