Who gets to name these hormones? Kisspeptin, really?

[sauropod]

“Kisspeptin.”

They’ve gotta be making that up.

[Jewbacca]

The same perverts who name bird species apparently.

Fluffy backed tit babbler?

Brown boobies?

European shag?

Big breasted tit?

Southern screamer?

Great tits?

Woodcock?

Red shafted flicker?

Andean cock-of-the-rock?

Your fourth example seems to not be a real bird.

In “tit(mouse)”, the first syllable comes from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning “small”; hence, “titmase” means small bird. Most of the examples of these birds are referred to as chickadees in the US.

There was no vulgar use of the word “shag” originally, since it came from an old Nordic word meaning “wool”. The species of cormorant referred to would refer to the shaggy appearance of the bird’s crest.

Second last bird named is more commonly known as the northern flicker; the last-named bird is also called the tunki.

Eating wedding cake is the most common way a woman loses her sexual desire,,,

Kisspeptin treatment requires a 75-minute monthly infusion administered by a medical tech. This seems like a non-starter both from a lifestyle and cost standpoint.

Vyleesi (bremelanotide) is already approved by the FDA for HSDD in pre-menopausal women. It is administered by the patient as-needed using a subcutaneous injection in the leg or abdomen an hour before sexual activity. Given Vyleesi’s FDA approval and lower provider cost, it seems unlikely Kisspeptide would also get approved for HSDD by the FDA.

Vyleesi has been growing in prescriptions for a few years, but the makers, Palatin Technologies, are too small to advertise it and there is a real resistance from doctors to prescribe a drug that improves female sexual desire. Even in this day of generic Viagra, some things are considered taboo.

The hormone kisspeptin could be used to treat women and men distressed by their low sexual desire,

Kiss what?

[BipolarBob]

The cost for Vyleesi subcutaneous solution (1.75 mg/0.3 mL) is around $956 for a supply of 1.2 milliliters,
Common side effects are vomiting due to the high cost of this drug.

[TexasFreeper2009]

this should be added to all wives food.

My hormone specialist told me to take DHEA 5mg and Pregnenolone 50mg and come back in 6 months to assess the effects.

Cheap otc supplements.

[mcshot]

Been there and it’s sad.

[Jewbacca]

Joke is here.

Your head is here.

We have many tufted titmouse birds every day at our feeders. Quite different than the two species of chickadees that also visit daily.

[dljordan]

That was hilarious!
