Morphofunctional Alterations of the Hypothalamus and Social Behavior in Autism Spectrum Disorders
An accumulating body of evidence indicates a tight relationship between the endocrine system and abnormal social behavior. Two evolutionarily conserved hypothalamic peptides, oxytocin and arginine-vasopressin, because of their extensively documented ...

ABSTRACT Background Haemophilia is a chronic, lifelong bleeding disorder that requires interdisciplinary care to manage and mitigate the disease burden throughout a patient's life. There is no universally accepted protocol for managing haemophilia patients during dental care.

Septic shock continues to be one of the leading causes of death in the Intensive Care Units. When the shock state persists after adequate fluid resuscitation, vasopressor therapy is required to improve and maintain adequate tissue/organ perfusion in an

Altered offspring neurodevelopment in an arginine vasopressin preeclampsia model
Preeclampsia is a severe gestational hypertensive condition linked to child neuropsychiatric disorders, although underlying mechanisms are unclear. We used a recently developed, clinically relevant animal model of preeclampsia to assess offspring.

A lipidated peptide derived from the C-terminal tail of the vasopressin 2 receptor shows promise as a new $β$-arrestin inhibitor [PDF]
$\beta$-arrestins play pivotal roles in seven transmembrane receptor (7TMR) signalling and trafficking. To study their functional role in the regulation of specific receptor systems, current research relies mainly on genetic tools, as few pharmacological options are available.

Abstract Poultry production is confronting real challenges, including a lofty projected high demand for animal proteins to feed the future, and the need to adapt to planetary boundaries (global warming) with limited natural resources (land, energy, water).

Oxytocin (OXT) is known to play an important role in trust, whereas the involvement of other peptide hormones has not been evaluated. In this study, we focused on microsatellite polymorphisms in the intron of the arginine-vasopressin receptor 1a (AVPR1a)

Congestive heart failure in rats is associated with increased expression and targeting of aquaporin-2 water channel in collecting duct [PDF]
We tested whether severe congestive heart failure (CHF), a condition associated with excess free-water retention, is accompanied by altered regulation of the vasopressin-regulated water channel, aquaporin-2 (AQP2), in the renal collecting duct.

Pituitary gonadotropin‐releasing hormone II as a possible mediator of positive estrogen feedback
Abstract It has previously been shown that rhesus macaques express two forms of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GNRH1 and GNRH2) in the hypothalamus and that both forms can stimulate the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) in vivo. However, while much has been published about the role of GNRH1 in reproduction, very little is known about the ...

Polypeptide A9K at Nanoscale Carbon: Simulation Study [PDF]
An amphiphilic nature of the surfactant-like peptides is responsible for their propensity to aggregate at the nanoscale. These peptides can be readily used for a non-covalent functionalization of nanoparticles and macromolecules. This work reports an observation of supramolecular ensembles consisting of ultrashort carbon nanotubes (USCNTs), graphene ...
