Repeated Administration of Norbinaltorphimine Produces Cumulative Kappa Opioid Receptor Inactivation
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Kappa receptor activation by dynorphins contributes to the anxiogenic, dysphoric, and cognitive disrupting effects of repeated stress, suggesting that kappa receptor antagonists might have therapeutic utility in the treatment of stress disorders.

Gene therapy for epilepsy: An emerging, promising approach for a serious neurological disorder
Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Gene therapy is emerging as a groundbreaking strategy for treating epilepsy, offering new hope to patients who do not respond to conventional medications. Despite advancements in anti‐seizure treatments, nearly 30%–40% of individuals with epilepsy continue to experience uncontrolled seizures, highlighting the urgent need for more effective and

The Opioid System in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Functional Role and Therapeutic Potential
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017 Temporal lobe epilepsy is considered to be one of the most common and severe forms of focal epilepsies. Patients often develop cognitive deficits and emotional blunting along the progression of the disease.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The present review aimed to investigate the effectiveness of aerobic exercise (AE) compared to other interventions in decreasing pain intensity and reducing disability in individuals with neck pain. A systematic review (SR) of randomized controlled trials was conducted. This SR was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021231231).

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract This narrative review highlights the impact of exercise on vascular health in females over the lifespan with an emphasis on puberty, pregnancy and menopause. These events encompass substantial changes in sex hormone levels, particularly oestrogens and progesterone.

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

Effects of Inflammatory Mediators on Gut Sensititvity
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1999 Over the past decade, attention has been paid to the role of visceral sensitivity in the pathophysiology of functional bowel disorders, especially irritable bowel syndrome, and visceral hypersensitivity is the most widely accepted mechanism responsible ...

Membrane leakage induced by dynorphins
FEBS Letters, 2006 Dynorphins, endogeneous opioid peptides, function as ligands to the opioid kappa receptors and induce non‐opioid excitotoxic effects. Here we show that big dynorphin and dynorphin A, but not dynorphin B, cause leakage effects in large unilamellar phospholipid vesicles (LUVs).
