eLife, 2021 Functional interactions between G protein-coupled receptors are poised to enhance neuronal sensitivity to neuromodulators and therapeutic drugs. Mu and delta opioid receptors (MORs and DORs) can interact when overexpressed in the same cells, but whether ...

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1997 Recent data support the view that neuropeptide mediators, in particular opioid peptides, participate in the control of hematopoiesis. The main arguments are: neuropeptides modulate the functions of lymphoid cells, macrophages and mature granulocytes; they control cell proliferation and differentiation in many tissues, particularly during embryogenesis;

Dynamics of the Mammalian Placental Metabolome in Placentogenesis and Embryonic Development
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies three metabolic stages (E8.5, E9.5–10.5, E11.5–14.5) and two transition periods (E8.5–9.5, E10.5–11.5) in mouse placental development. NAD(H) emerges as a key dynamic metabolite that enhances embryonic growth through accelerated segmentation and increased proliferation of mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC)‐induced presomitic ...

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Neurobiology of Disease, 2002 In order to assess the role of striatal dopamine (DA) afferents in l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia, we have studied a large series of rats sustaining 2, 3, or 4 unilateral injections of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in the lateral striatum.

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 Background: Chronic pruritus affects up to 70% of patients with immune-mediated hepatobiliary disorders. Antagonists of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR) and agonists of the κ-opioid receptor (KOR) are used to treat hepatic itch, albeit with limited success ...

Enkephalin-inactivating enzymes.
Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 1993 The inhibitory effects of opioid peptides such as [Met5]-enkephalin and [Met5]-enkephalin-Arg6 on the electrically-evoked contractions of guinea-pig ileum, mouse vas deferens and rat vas deferens were enhanced by aminopeptidase inhibitors such as amastatin and bestatin, a peptidyl dipeptidase A inhibitor like captopril, and endopeptidase-24.11 ...

Fetal Pain Perception: Legislative Assertions and Developmental Neuroscience
Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pain perception is a conscious experience, but neither pain nor consciousness is defined in the developing human fetus. Emergent consciousness may be regarded as a phenomenon that ultimately arises from an essential minimum of functional neuronal connectivity. Proposed U.S.

Brain Sciences, 2022 The noradrenergic nucleus locus coeruleus is a key component of the stress circuitry of the brain. During stress, the neuropeptide corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is secreted onto LC, increasing LC output and norepinephrine concentration in the ...
