Morphological evidence for enhanced kisspeptin and neurokinin B signaling in the infundibular nucleus of the aging man. [PDF]

, 2012
Peptidergic neurons synthesizing kisspeptin (KP) and neurokinin B (NKB) in the hypothalamic infundibular nucleus have been implicated in negative sex steroid feedback to GnRH neurons. In laboratory rodents, testosterone decreases KP and NKB expression in

Menopausal hormone therapy and comprehensive postmenopausal care in gynecologic cancer survivors: A position paper from the FIGO Committee on Women at Menopausal Age

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 1151-1171, September 2026.
Abstract Recent advances in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment have greatly improved survival rates among women with gynecologic cancers. More survivors now live long enough to experience treatment‐related menopause. Vasomotor symptoms, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, sexual dysfunction, sleep issues, and long‐term risks from estrogen ...

Fertility outcomes and ovarian function recovery after anti‐NMDAR encephalitis: A retrospective cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 9, Page 1823-1832, September 2026.
Acute hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian axis suppression is common in anti‐NMDAR encephalitis, yet ovarian function and fertility recover favorably even in teratoma‐associated cases, supporting reassuring long‐term reproductive prognoses. Abstract Introduction Anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (anti‐NMDAR) encephalitis predominantly affects women of ...

RETRACTED: Alcohol drinking alters stress response to predator odor via BNST kappa opioid receptor signaling in male mice

eLife, 2020
Maladaptive responses to stress are a hallmark of alcohol use disorder, but the mechanisms that underlie this are not well characterized. Here, we show that kappa opioid receptor signaling in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is a critical ...

Peripheral κ opioid receptor in pain and inflammation: From molecular signalling and gene expression to drug discovery

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 17, Page 5157-5189, September 2026.
The κ opioid receptor (κ receptor, KOR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor with well established roles in analgesia and immune modulation. Although historically studied primarily in the central nervous system (CNS), growing evidence indicates that κ signalling in peripheral tissues plays an important role in regulating pain, inflammation and immune ...

Secondary structure transitions and aggregation induced in dynorphin neuropeptides by the detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate [PDF]

, 2008
Dynorphins, endogeneous opioid neuropeptides, function as ligands to the opioid kappa receptors and also induce non-opioid effects in neurons, probably related to direct membrane interactions. We have characterized the structure transitions of dynorphins

A symmetric systemic challenge elicits a right‐biased response mediated by vasopressin signaling

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 9, September 2026.
Water deprivation, a spatially symmetric homeostatic challenge, induces vasopressin receptor‐dependent right‐sided hindlimb asymmetry in rats, providing a binary readout of lateralized physiological regulation. These findings suggest that symmetric homeostatic challenges can engage neuroendocrine mechanisms that shift the balance between left‐ and ...

Bradykinin Receptors Mediate Dynorphin Pronociceptive Action To Produce Persistent Pain

, 2007

Aberrant ɑSMA expression reveals broad mossy fiber reorganization integrating with tangle and plaque formation and mitoenergetic alteration in the human hippocampus

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Neural network and bioenergetic abnormalities occur with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. METHODS We explored mossy fiber (MF) and mitoenergetic alteration using ɑ‐smooth muscle actin (ɑSMA) and cytochrome c oxidase (COX) immunolabeling in human hippocampus relative to tangle and plaque formation by referring to Braak (0–VI)
