Actions of D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin and dynorphin A (1–17) on neocortical neurons in vitro [PDF]
, 1984 Intracellular recordings were made from neocortical neurons in vitro. Application of D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin (DADL) by different methods produced a decrease in EPSP amplitude and in the amplitude of L-glutamate-induced depolarizations without changes in

Immunoreactive dynorphin in pituitary and brain. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1980 Distribution of the potent opioid peptide dynorphin has been determined in pituitary gland (pig, beef, rat), in the various regions of rat brain, and in rat spinal cord, by using a highly specific antiserum. By gel permeation chromatography in 4 M guanidine, the porcine pituitary immunoreactivity is found in a major peak of apparent molecular weight ...

Prenatal programming of neuroendocrine reproductive function [PDF]
, 2016 It is now well recognized that the gestational environment can have long-lasting effects not only on the life span and health span of an individual but also, through potential epigenetic changes, on future generations.

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2012 Background The striato-nigral projecting pathway contains the highest concentrations of dynorphin in the brain. The functional role of this opioid peptide in the regulation of mesencephalic dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons is not clear.

Pathobiology of dynorphins in trauma and disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2005 Dynorphins, endogenous opioid neuropeptides derived from the prodynorphin gene, are involved in a variety of normative physiologic functions including antinociception and neuroendocrine signaling, and may be protective to neurons and oligodendroglia via their opioid receptor-mediated effects. However, under experimental or pathophysiological conditions

eLife, 2016 Kisspeptin (Kiss1) and neurokinin B (NKB) neurocircuits are essential for pubertal development and fertility. Kisspeptin neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Kiss1ARH) co-express Kiss1, NKB, dynorphin and glutamate and are postulated to provide ...

Afferent Neuronal Control of Type-I Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Neurons in the Human. [PDF]
, 2013 Understanding the regulation of the human menstrual cycle represents an important ultimate challenge of reproductive neuroendocrine research. However, direct translation of information from laboratory animal experiments to the human is often complicated ...
