Capillary HPLC Separation of Selected Neuropeptides [PDF]
Neuropeptides play a pivotal role in brain and peripheral nervous system function. As high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) becomes the central tool in the separation and characterization of peptide and protein samples, its selectivity ...

Perivascular Expression and Potent Vasoconstrictor Effect of Dynorphin A in Cerebral Arteries [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Numerous literary data indicate that dynorphin A (DYN-A) has a significant impact on cerebral circulation, especially under pathophysiological conditions, but its potential direct influence on the tone of cerebral vessels is obscure.

Abstract Fezolinetant is a non‐hormonal, selective neurokinin 3 receptor antagonist approved in multiple countries including the United States, in Europe, and in Asia for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms in menopausal women. Fezolinetant is primarily metabolized by CYP1A2 and was found to be a sensitive substrate for CYP1A2 ...

Proteasome targeted therapy in arthritis models -effects on pain and inflammation [PDF]
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) regulates numerous cellular functions by selectively degrading cellular proteins. It controls activation of the transcription factor NF-ĸB which is involved in the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators.

Determination of Dynorphins And Tnf- A By Lc-ms/ms In Biological Samples: Applicable To Studying Inflammatory Mechanisms [PDF]
Dynorphins are endogenous opioid peptides that have been implicated as initiators ofimmune and inflammatory response through upregulation ofinflammatory cytokine and chemokine production, as well having a role in glutamate-induced neuro-inflammation and ...

Mechanism and site of action of big dynorphin on ASIC1a [PDF]
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated cation channels that contribute to neurotransmission, as well as initiation of pain and neuronal death following ischemic stroke. As such, there is a great interest in understanding the in vivo regulation of ASICs, especially by endogenous neuropeptides that potently modulate ASICs.

Abstract Affinity photolabeling is a smart method to study noncovalent and transient interactions and provide a submolecular picture of the contacts between interacting partners. In this review, we will focus on the identification of peptide partners using photoaffinity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry in different contexts such as in vitro with a

Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
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 ...
