Ethanol-activated microglial exosomes induce MCP1 signaling mediated death of stress-regulatory proopiomelanocortin neurons in the developing hypothalamus

Journal of Neuroinflammation
Background Microglia, a type of resident immune cells within the central nervous system, have been implicated in ethanol-activated neuronal death of the stress regulatory proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neuron-producing β-endorphin peptides in the ...

Neuroimmunomodulation in Cancer Patients: Correlations between Melatonin and ß-Endorphin Blood Levels and T Helper/Suppressor Ratio

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1988
The pineal gland and opioid peptides play roles in the neuroendocrine control of immunity. Both neuroendocrine and immune dysfunctions have been observed in cancer but the importance of the altered secretion of neurohormones in the immunoincompetence of ...

An opioid-like system regulating feeding behavior in C. elegans [PDF]

, 2015
Neuropeptides are essential for the regulation of appetite. Here we show that neuropeptides could regulate feeding in mutants that lack neurotransmission from the motor neurons that stimulate feeding muscles. We identified nlp-24 by an RNAi screen of 115

Perspectives on Endogenous Opioids in Birds

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The present review summarizes the state of knowledge of endogenous opioids in birds. Endogenous opioid peptides acts in a neuromodulatory, hormonal and paracrine manner to mediate analgesic and other physiological functions.

Pyrogens Enhance β-Endorphin Release in Hypothalamus and Trigger Fever That Can Be Attenuated by Buprenorphine

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
: At first, we investigated whether both β-endorphin release level in the hypothalamus and body temperature can be altered after intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of either lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), or prostaglandin E2 ...

Az endocannabinoid rendszer szerepe és szabályozása a humán faggyúmirigyben = Role and regulation of the endocannabinoid system in the human sebaceous gland [PDF]

, 2011
Nagymértékben fókuszált, alapkutatási projektünkben – melyet egy szakértő, multidiszciplináris kutatói team nemzetközi kollaboráció keretében valósított meg – szisztematikusan és mechanisztikusan térképeztük fel az endokannabinoid rendszer (ECS) szerepét

Activity Based Anorexia as an Animal Model for Anorexia Nervosa–A Systematic Review [PDF]

, 2019
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe eating disorder affecting around 1 per 100 persons. However, the knowledge about its underlying pathophysiology is limited.

Physical activity and mental well-being [PDF]

, 2013
There is increasing research into the relationship between physical activity and mental health. Evidence shows that for adults at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most days of the week can improve mood and decrease ...

Somato-Dendritic Localization and Signaling by Leptin Receptors in Hypothalamic POMC and AgRP Neurons [PDF]

, 2013
Leptin acts via neuronal leptin receptors to control energy balance. Hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP)/Neuropeptide Y (NPY)/GABA neurons produce anorexigenic and orexigenic neuropeptides and neurotransmitters, and

Influences of β-endorphins in Ethanol Consumption Patterns and Acquisition of a Conditioned Taste Aversion Mediated by the Drug

Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento, 2009
Rewarding effects of ethanol may be mediated in part by endogenous opioids. Ethanol alters β-endorphin synthesis and release. β-endorphin heterozygous (HT) and knockout (KO) mice consume higher levels of a low-concentrated alcohol solution and show ...
