Opioid and Non-Opoid Actions of Dynorphin A on Spinal Wide Dynamic Range Neurons
Dynorphin A is an endogenous peptide that can activate opioid receptors and bradykinin receptors; the latter has been proposed to be a mechanism of dynorphin A’s pronociceptive actions.

Background: Since kisspeptin (KISS1) in the hypothalamus is affected by the inhibitory effect of dynorphin, it raises questions about the controlled balance of these 2 neuropeptides in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
