Sedative-like effect of intraperitoneal GABA administration in the open field test [PDF]
Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) is the main inhibitor neurotransmitter of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Its peripheral administration has been matter of discussion. On the one hand, it has been reported that it does not cross the Blood-Brain Barrier (

Arcuate nucleus kisspeptin response to increased nutrition in rams [PDF]
Rams respond to acute nutritional supplementation by increasing the frequency of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulses. Kisspeptin neurons may mediate the effect of environmental cues on GnRH secretion, so we tested whether the ram response to nutrition involves activation of kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC), namely kisspeptin ...

Modulating effect of irisin on the functional state of inhibitory afferent inputs to the suprachiasmatic nucleus from the arcuate nucleus [PDF]
In vitro experiments on viable hypothalamic slices of male Wistar rats, the modulating effect of the myokine irisin on the parameters of inhibitory responses of neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus to stimulation of the arcuate nucleus was studied.

Substance P regulates puberty onset and fertility in the female mouse [PDF]
Puberty is a tightly regulated process that leads to reproductive capacity. Kiss1 neurons are crucial in this process by stimulating GnRH, yet how Kiss1 neurons are regulated remains unknown. Substance P (SP), an important neuropeptide in pain perception,

Prolyl carboxypeptidase in Agouti-related Peptide neurons modulates food intake and body weight
Objective: Prolyl carboxypeptidase (PRCP) plays a role in the regulation of energy metabolism by inactivating hypothalamic α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) levels.
