Selective excitatory effects of γ‐glutamyl‐glycine, a glutathione metabolite, on GluN1 NMDA and mGlu5 receptors impacting synaptic plasticity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Gamma‐glutamyl dipeptides are essentially produced after glutathione (GSH) degradation. While several γ‐glutamyl dipeptides have been detected in different organs and body fluids, their biological activity remains elusive. This is the case for γ‐Glutamyl‐Glycine (γ‐Glu‐Gly) which has been found in different brain areas.

Benzodiazepine receptors and the control of ingestive behaviour in the rat [PDF]

, 1996
When administered systemically, benzodiazepine receptor agonists have been shown to increase food intake in a number of species. Conversely, benzodiazepine receptor inverse agonists bring about reliable decreases in feeding.

Parasomnias and sleep‐related movement disorders induced by drugs in the adult population: a review about iatrogenic medication effects

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Parasomnias and sleep‐related movement disorders (SRMD) are major causes of sleep disorders and may be drug induced. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to examine the association between drug use and the occurrence of parasomnias and SRMD.

Amacrine cell inputs to OFF midget ganglion cells in macaque retina

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The goal of this study was to explain the findings from physiological studies that OFF midget ganglion cells had larger receptive field centers than expected from their dendritic field diameters. First, we confirmed that OFF mRGCs (OFF MGC) receive input from diffuse bipolar cells (DB) as well as OFF midget bipolar cells (FMB ...

Regulatory Domains of GABAA Receptors [PDF]

, 2000
GABAA receptors are the principal mediators of rapid, synaptic inhibition within the mammalian central nervous system. These receptors are hetero-oligomeric proteins that can be assembled from α(l-6), β(l-3), γ(l-3), δ &egr;, π and &thgr; subunit classes

Update on Sedation for Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Japan: Current Evidence on Remimazolam

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Sedation is an essential component of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy because it reduces patient discomfort and anxiety while improving patient acceptance and procedural quality. In Japan, benzodiazepines such as midazolam and opioid analgesics have long been widely used in routine clinical practice; however, many of these agents historically

Proto‐Panic Modulation by Caffeine‐Proteinoid Complexes

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 41, November 5, 2026.
Caffeine–proteinoid microspheres synthesized by thermal polymerization exhibit compartmentalized drug loading with encapsulation efficiencies of 61%–82% and triphasic release kinetics. Electrochemical monitoring reveals multi‐scale oscillatory dynamics consistent with chaotic and damped harmonic behavior, while Boolean logic operations demonstrate ...

Beneficial Role of Natural Polyphenols Against Epilepsy: Greasing the Wheels of Pharmacotherapy Research for Epilepsy

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Epilepsy is the most disabling neurological disease that affects all economic classes, age groups, regions, and races. Although many antiseizure drugs are approved for epilepsy treatment, they fail to work in about 30%–40% of patients. Thus, there is a great need to identify better pharmacological agents to treat epilepsy.
