The involvement of actin, calcium channels and exocytosis proteins in somato-dendritic oxytocin and vasopressin release [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Hypothalamic magnocellular neurons release vasopressin and oxytocin not only from their axon terminals into the blood, but also from their somata and dendrites into the extracellular space of the brain, and this can be regulated independently ...

Vascular health and exercise in females throughout the lifespan: Exploring puberty, pregnancy and menopause

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This narrative review highlights the impact of exercise on vascular health in females over the lifespan with an emphasis on puberty, pregnancy and menopause. These events encompass substantial changes in sex hormone levels, particularly oestrogens and progesterone.

The dopamine D1-D2 receptor heteromer in striatal medium spiny neurons: evidence for a third distinct neuronal pathway in basal ganglia

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2011
Dopaminergic signaling within the basal ganglia has classically been thought to occur within two distinct neuronal pathways; the direct striatonigral pathway which contains the dopamine D1 receptor and the neuropeptides dynorphin and substance P, and the

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

Emerging Perspectives on Gonadotropin Regulation in Vertebrates Revealed by the Discovery of FSH‐RH in Teleosts

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 11, November 2025.
Regarding pituitary gonadotropin regulation, recent studies have shown that in mammals, FSH and LH are regulated by a single GnRH (solo GnRH model), whereas in teleosts, they are regulated by CCK (FSH‐RH) and GnRH (LH‐RH), respectively (dual GnRH model).

Opioid precursor protein isoform is targeted to the cell nuclei in the human brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Neuropeptide precursors are traditionally viewed as proteins giving rise to small neuropeptide molecules. Prodynorphin (PDYN) is the precursor protein to dynorphins, endogenous ligands for the kappa-opioid receptor.

Capillary HPLC Separation of Selected Neuropeptides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Neuropeptides play a pivotal role in brain and peripheral nervous system function. As high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) becomes the central tool in the separation and characterization of peptide and protein samples, its selectivity ...

Low Degree of Overlap Between Kisspeptin, Neurokinin B, and Dynorphin Immunoreactivities in the Infundibular Nucleus of Young Male Human Subjects Challenges the KNDy Neuron Concept. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Previous immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization studies of sheep, goats, and rodents indicated that kisspeptin (KP), neurokinin B (NKB), and dynorphin A (DYN) are extensively colocalized in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, thus providing a basis ...

Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Fezolinetant in Women with Hepatic or Renal Impairment

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 65, Issue 11, Page 1517-1530, November 2025.
Abstract The neurokinin 3 receptor antagonist fezolinetant is an approved treatment for vasomotor symptoms due to menopause. The impacts of hepatic and renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single oral dose of fezolinetant 30 mg were investigated in two independent studies.

Bulleyaconitine A Inhibits Visceral Nociception and Spinal Synaptic Plasticity through Stimulation of Microglial Release of Dynorphin A

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2020
Background. Visceral pain is one of the most common types of pain and particularly in the abdomen is associated with gastrointestinal diseases. Bulleyaconitine A (BAA), isolated from Aconitum bulleyanum, is prescribed in China to treat chronic pain.
