Adoptive transfer of M2 macrophages reduces neuropathic pain via opioid peptides [PDF]

, 2016
Background During the inflammation which occurs following nerve damage, macrophages are recruited to the site of injury. Phenotypic diversity is a hallmark of the macrophage lineage and includes pro-inflammatory M1 and anti- inflammatory M2 populations ...

Regulation of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Secretion by Kisspeptin/Dynorphin/Neurokinin B Neurons in the Arcuate Nucleus of the Mouse

Journal of Neuroscience, 2009
Kisspeptin is encoded by the Kiss1 gene, and kisspeptin signaling plays a critical role in reproduction. In rodents, kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus (Arc) provide tonic drive to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, which in turn ...

The opioid peptide dynorphin A induces leukocyte responses via integrin Mac-1 (αMβ2, CD11b/CD18)

Molecular Pain, 2015
BackgroundOpioid peptides, including dynorphin A, besides their analgesic action in the nervous system, exert a broad spectrum of effects on cells of the immune system, including leukocyte migration, degranulation and cytokine production.

Stress-Induced Reinstatement of Drug Seeking: 20 Years of Progress [PDF]

, 2015
In human addicts, drug relapse and craving are often provoked by stress. Since 1995, this clinical scenario has been studied using a rat model of stress-induced reinstatement of drug seeking.

Neurokinin B and Dynorphin A in Kisspeptin Neurons of the Arcuate Nucleus Participate in Generation of Periodic Oscillation of Neural Activity Driving Pulsatile Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Secretion in the Goat

Journal of Neuroscience, 2010
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in the basal forebrain are the final common pathway through which the brain regulates reproduction. GnRH secretion occurs in a pulsatile manner, and indirect evidence suggests the kisspeptin neurons in the ...

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

Scientific 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.

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

, 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.

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

, 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.

Nitrous Oxide: Mechanism of Its Antinociceptive Action [PDF]

, 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.
