, 2022 The olfactory tubercle (OT) is a striatal region that receives olfactory inputs. mRNAs of prodynorphin (Pdyn) and preproenkephalin (Penk), precursors of dynorphins and enkephalins, respectively, are strongly expressed in the striatum. Both produce opioid

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2026.Body fat distribution was associated with vasomotor symptoms in a menopausal stage‐specific manner. Greater trunk and abdominal adiposity were linked to more frequent and bothersome symptoms during perimenopause, whereas distinct abdominal adiposity measures showed contrasting associations with symptom burden after menopause.

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 175, Issue 1, Page 26-47, October 2026.Abstract Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and early menopause (EM) affect millions of women worldwide. Compared with normal menopause, they confer a longer duration of estrogen deficiency and are associated not only with a shorter lifespan, but with a reduced healthspan, owing to an increased risk of cardiovascular, skeletal, cognitive and ...

Mobilization of Specific Neuropeptides by Peripheral Stimulation of Identified Frequencies
, 1992 Three families of endogenous opioid peptides have been characterized in the CNS: enkephalins, endorphins and dynorphins. These can be mobilized by peripheral electrical stimulation.

Prodynorphin-Derived Opioid Peptides
, 2006 The dynorphin family is composed of multiple peptides. They are distributed in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Dynorphins dusply several biological functions, including the regulation of pain transmission, feeding, pituitary hormone ...

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis coordinates reproductive function and incorporates gonadal sex steroid feedback to regulate gonadotropin secretion in a homeostatic manner. In females, ovarian estrogens and progestins act as the primary negative feedback signals to suppress luteinizing hormone (LH) release, whereas in males ...
