Functional Integration of Different‐Sex Gonad Transplants Into the Adult Mouse Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Axis

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
This study introduces and investigates different‐sex gonad transplants in a mouse model of gender‐affirming hormone therapy. Ovaries and testes implanted into gonadectomized adults exhibit gametogenesis and steroidogenesis independent of the sex of the host.

Nicotine Effects and the Endogenous Opioid System

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014
.: Nicotine (NIC) is an exogenous ligand of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), and it influences various functions in the central nervous system. Systemic administration of NIC elicits the release of endogenous opioids (endorphins, enkephalins,

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

Contemporary and Emerging Therapies in the Management of Refractory Angina: A Clinical Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Refractory angina (RA) represents a growing challenge in clinical cardiology, particularly in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy and who are not candidates for revascularization.

Concentration–QTc Modeling to Support Clinical Development of Fezolinetant

Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, EarlyView.
Abstract Fezolinetant is a non‐hormonal, selective neurokinin‐3 receptor antagonist that blocks neurokinin B activation of kisspeptin/neurokinin B/dynorphin neurons to thereby modulate neuronal activity in the thermoregulatory center. Fezolinetant has been approved in many regions, including North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia for the treatment ...

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.

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 ...

Altered expression of kisspeptin, dynorphin, and related neuropeptides in polycystic ovary syndrome: A cross-sectional study

International Journal of Reproductive BioMedicine
Background: Since kisspeptin (KISS1) in the hypothalamus is affected by the inhibitory effect of dynorphin, it raises questions about the controlled balance of these 2 neuropeptides in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Food and the brain: Neural and endocrine control of feeding, metabolism, and reproduction

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Feeding and reproductive function are regulated by intricate systems that monitor food availability and energy stores, and on the basis of energy status, promote or put a brake on reproduction. This is particularly evident in the systems that regulate feeding and reproductive state in female mammals.
