Abstract INTRODUCTION Neural network and bioenergetic abnormalities occur with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. METHODS We explored mossy fiber (MF) and mitoenergetic alteration using ɑ‐smooth muscle actin (ɑSMA) and cytochrome c oxidase (COX) immunolabeling in human hippocampus relative to tangle and plaque formation by referring to Braak (0–VI)

Structural basis of divergent substrate recognition and inhibition of human neurolysin
A zinc metallopeptidase neurolysin (Nln) processes diverse bioactive peptides to regulate signaling in the mammalian nervous system. To understand how Nln interacts with various peptides with dissimilar sequences, we determined crystal structures of Nln ...

Role of PBN‐CeA Circuit in Paclitaxel‐Induced Neuropathic Pain and Negative Emotions
Paclitaxel‐induced neuropathy recruits the PBN–CeA pathway and increases CeA PDYN expression, contributing to pain hypersensitivity and negative emotional behaviors. Suppressing PBN inputs to the CeA or blocking KOR with Navacaprant mitigates both sensory hypersensitivity and negative emotional symptoms.

Evaluation of Potential Hormonal Activities of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
ABSTRACT Ashwagandha is a widely used herb in traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayurveda. Despite its extensive tradition, growing concerns regarding its potential endocrinological effects have prompted scientific scrutiny. This review systematically evaluates the current preclinical, clinical, and case study evidence concerning AS's effects ...

Role of Opioid Ligands in the Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Endogenous opioid peptides – enkephalins, beta-endorphin and dynorphins – are located in specific sites of the brain, the spinal cord, the autonomic ganglia and the enteric nervous system.

Therapeutic potential of spexin in diabetic neuropathy: Insights from in vitro and in vivo models
Abstract The present study investigated the therapeutic potential of spexin (SPX) on both in vitro and in vivo models of diabetic neuropathy (DN). A total of 40 male BALB/c mice were randomly allocated into four experimental groups (n = 10 per group): a normoglycaemic control, an untreated DN group and two SPX treatment groups (DN+SPX‐12.5 and DN+SPX ...

Opioid and non-opioid activities of the dynorphins [Elektronisk resurs]
Endogenous opioid peptides a-neoendorphin, dynorphin A (Dyn A), dynorphin B (Dyn B) and big dynorphin (Big Dyn) consisting of Dyn A and Dyn B, collectively known as dynorphins are derived from the precursor protein prodynorphin (PDYN).
