Pharmacology of Kappa Opioid Receptors: Novel Assays and Ligands
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 The present study investigated the in vitro pharmacology of the human kappa opioid receptor using multiple assays, including calcium mobilization in cells expressing chimeric G proteins, the dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) label-free assay, and a ...

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 ...

Alcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, EarlyView.Using a free‐choice ethanol model, we show that mice switched from a high‐sugar/butter diet to AIN93G standard diet consume and prefer more alcohol than mice maintained on AIN93G. 16S profiling and inferred metabolome revealed reduced amino acid metabolism, increased secondary bile acid pathways, and lower microbiota‐derived SCFAs and selected amino ...

Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

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 ...

Electroacupuncture as a treatment for suspected trigeminal nerve‐mediated head‐shaking in 42 horses
Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.Summary Background Electroacupuncture (EA) has been used successfully as a treatment for trigeminal nerve‐mediated head‐shaking (TMHS) in a small case series, but results from a larger number of cases are lacking. Objectives To retrospectively investigate the effectiveness of EA as a treatment for horses with TMHS.
