| Mills et al. (2025) | C57BL/6J mice — intranasal Kp-54 | 12.8–50 nM intranasal: dose-dependente LH to 3.6 ng/mL at 25 min (p < 0.001); GnRH neurons ativou in olfactory bulb → novel extra-hypothalamic pathway | [19] |

| Mills et al. (2025) | n=34 (men, women, HA) | Intranasal Kp-54 12.8 nmol/kg | Rapid LH ↑4.4 IU/L men; no AEs; non-invasive delivery validated | [19] |

| Comninos et al. (2022) | n=26 healthy men | Acute Kp-54 | Osteocalcin ↑24% (bone formation marker) | [21] |
Safety Summary: >1,000 Human Exposures
| Parametro | Finding |
|---|---|
| Common AEs | Mild/transient: injection site reactions, headache, nausea, bloating |
| Cardiotoxicity | None — no changes in HR, BP, or ECG |
| Tachyphylaxis | Continuous high-dose → β-arrestin recruitment → receptor internalizacao → HPG supressao (physiological, not toxic) |
| Dog NOAEL | 1000 µg/kg IV × 14 days — no toxicity |
| Metabolism | Cleaved by MMP-2, MMP-9, furin; C-terminal cleavage inativa |
