Relationship between kisspeptin-10, neurokinin B and dynorphin A in the course of normal and delayed puberty in ewes [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary ResearchKisspeptin (KiSS), neurokinin B (NKB) and dynorphin A (Dyn A) participate in the neuroendocrine regulation of reproductive system development and functioning; however, their roles in the onset of sexual maturity and pathomechanism of delayed puberty have

The Role of Kappa‐Opioid Receptor/Dynorphin System in Modulating Neural‐Circuits of Depression and Anxiety—A Review [PDF]
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 19, October 2026.ABSTRACT Major depression and anxiety disorders are psychiatric disorders that involve a great number of people. There is a growing need for new and better pharmacological treatments for these diseases. Kappa‐opioid receptor (KOR) antagonists seem to be a promising new pathway for the development of new antidepressants and anxiolytics, but a great ...

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

The Opioid Peptide Dynorphin a Induces Leukocyte Responses via Integrin Mac-1 (αβ, CD11b/CD18)
Molecular Pain, 2015 Background Opioid 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. The mechanisms

Projection neurons in lamina III of the rat spinal cord are selectively innervated by local dynorphin-containing excitatory neurons [PDF]
, 2012 Large projection neurons in lamina III of the rat spinal cord that express the neurokinin 1 receptor are densely innervated by peptidergic primary afferent nociceptors and more sparsely by low-threshold myelinated afferents. However, we know little about
