Bulleyaconitine A Inhibits Visceral Nociception and Spinal Synaptic Plasticity through Stimulation of Microglial Release of Dynorphin A

Neural Plasticity, 2020
Background. Visceral pain is one of the most common types of pain and particularly in the abdomen is associated with gastrointestinal diseases. Bulleyaconitine A (BAA), isolated from Aconitum bulleyanum, is prescribed in China to treat chronic pain.

Basal ganglia neuropeptides show abnormal processing associated with L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia

npj Parkinson's Disease, 2022
L-DOPA administration is the primary treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD) but long-term administration is usually accompanied by hyperkinetic side-effects called L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). Signaling neuropeptides of the basal ganglia are affected

The Isolated Thumb Domain of Acid‐Sensing Ion Channels Forms a Minimal Folding Unit Enabling Ligand Binding Studies

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 19, 4 May 2026.
An independently folded thumb domain from acid‐sensing ion channels (ASICs) preserves ligand‐binding and proton‐sensing properties. NMR‐based interaction and pKa analyses uncover how endogenous and exogenous peptides modulate ASICs, providing a simplified model for rational drug discovery targeting proton‐gated ion channels.

Isolation and amino acid sequence analysis of a 4,000-dalton dynorphin from porcine pituitary [PDF]

, 1982
A 4,000-dalton dynorphin was isolated from porcine pituitary. It has 32 amino acids (Mr = 3,986), with the previously described heptadecapeptide (now called dynorphin A) at its amino terminus and a related tridecapeptide, dynorphin B, at its carboxyl ...

Substance P regulates puberty onset and fertility in the female mouse [PDF]

, 2015
Puberty is a tightly regulated process that leads to reproductive capacity. Kiss1 neurons are crucial in this process by stimulating GnRH, yet how Kiss1 neurons are regulated remains unknown. Substance P (SP), an important neuropeptide in pain perception,

Advent of NK3R Antagonists for the Treatment of Menopausal Hot Flushes: A Narrative Review

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The menopause transition is marked by symptoms predominantly attributed to declining oestrogen levels. Approximately 80% of women experience associated symptoms, and 25% experience severe symptoms. The commonest are vasomotor symptoms (VMS), collectively referring to hot flushes and/or night sweats.

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

Factors Associated With Non‐Vasomotor Menopause Symptoms Experienced by 7285 Women: A UK‐Wide National Survey

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the factors associated with non‐vasomotor menopause symptoms among women in the UK, focusing on the perceived importance of specific symptoms and their association with demographic and treatment‐related factors. Design A cross‐sectional online survey.
