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

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,

In silico prediction of novel effective combinational treatment of chronic pain in individual patients: A joint white paper of the H2020 QSPainRelief consortium

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Opioids are prescribed widely for chronic pain despite well‐recognised risks and variable long‐term benefit, reflecting the lack of effective alternatives for many patients. Combination therapies offer a promising strategy to enhance efficacy whilst reducing side effects.

Systematic profiling reveals broad G protein coupling and context‐dependent modulation of cyclic AMP by the orphan receptor GPR139

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are major drug targets, yet many orphan receptors remain poorly characterized. GPR139 has been implicated in CNS disorders, including schizophrenia and depression, but its signalling mechanisms remain unclear.

Recent advances in polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, formerly polycystic ovary syndrome, with emphasis on endocrine and metabolic dysfunction and cardiovascular risk

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), previously known as polycystic ovary syndrome, affects 10%–13% of women of reproductive age and remains underdiagnosed despite its substantial health burden. The introduction of the new PMOS nomenclature in 2026 reflects a fundamental shift in understanding the condition as a lifelong endocrine ...

Use of Platelet‐Rich Fibrin (PRF) on Palatal Wound Healing: A Narrative Review With Clinical Recommendations

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Based on the available evidence, the application of platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) following free gingival graft (FGG) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) harvesting appears to be a promising approach for enhancing wound healing, minimizing postoperative complications, and reducing analgesic consumption. ABSTRACT This clinical narrative review

Distinguishable effects of intrathecal dynorphins, somatostatin, neurotensin and s-calcitonin on nociception and motor function in the rat

, 1988
We determined the effects on nociceptive threshold and motor function of dynorphin-gene products, dynorphin A-(1-32) (DYN A-(1-32), DYN A-(1-8), DYN B and DYN B-29 and the non-opioid peptides somatostatin, neurotensin and salmon calcitonin (s-CT) after ...

Microvascular endothelial function is blunted in postmenopausal females with frequent hot flushes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hot flushes of menopause are associated with elevated blood pressure (BP) and diminished macrovascular endothelial function, an initiating factor in the onset of atherosclerosis. Whether microvascular endothelial function is impaired in females with hot flushes, however, remains unknown.
