Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Linear Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Targeted Neuropeptides in Tac1-/- Mouse Spinal Cords Reveal Significant Lower Concentration of Opioid Peptides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Tachykinin and opioid peptides play a central role in pain transmission, modulation and inhibition. The treatment of pain is very important in medicine and many studies using NK1 receptor antagonists failed to show significant analgesic effects in ...

Mechanism of elevated LH/FSH ratio in lean PCOS revisited: a path analysis

open access: yesScientific Reports
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder affecting 5–20% of reproductive-age women. However, the treatment of PCOS is mainly based on symptoms and not on its pathophysiology.

Dynorphin Controls the Gain of an Amygdalar Anxiety Circuit

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Kappa opioid receptors (KORs) are involved in a variety of aversive behavioral states, including anxiety. To date, a circuit-based mechanism for KOR-driven anxiety has not been described.

Nitrous Oxide: Mechanism of Its Antinociceptive Action [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an anesthetic gas known to produce an analgesic effect at sub-anesthetic concentrations. This analgesic property of N2O can be clinically exploited in a broad range of conditions where pain relief is indicated.

Detection and Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci that Determine Responsiveness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Exposure to 70% N2O evokes a robust antinociceptive effect in C57BL/6 (B6) but not in DBA/2 (D2) inbred mice. This study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) in the mouse genome that might determine responsiveness to N2O.

Modulatory effects of orexin and dynorphin on stress-related alcohol seeking and relapse: pivotal role of the posterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) remains a significant problem in the United States, resulting in over 178,000 alcohol-related deaths annually. A central problem in treating AUD is the high rate of relapse to alcohol use even after protracted periods of ...

Neuropeptides as mediators of the early-life impact on the brain; implications for alcohol use disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012
The brain is constantly exposed to external and internal input and to function in an ever-changing environment we are dependent on processes that enable the brain to adapt to new stimuli.

A gas-liquid solid phase peptide and protein sequenator [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
A new miniaturized protein and peptide sequenator has been constructed which uses gas phase reagents at the coupling and cleavage steps of the Edman degradation. The sample is embedded in a matrix of Polybrene dried onto a porous glass fiber disc located
