Serum neurokinin B levels in newly diagnosed nondipper hypertensive patients [PDF]
Objective Cardiovascular diseases are more common in patients with nondipper hypertension (NDHT) compared with those with dipper hypertension (DHT). The aim of this study is to evaluate the serum neurokinin B levels in DHT and NDHT patients.

Neurokinin receptor gene expression in substantia nigra: localization, regulation, and potential physiological significance [PDF]
Neurokinin receptor gene expression within the rat and human substantia nigra was examined in detail. In the rat, the relative abundances of nigral neurokinin receptor mRNAs were neurokinin 3 > neurokinin 1 [Formula: see text] neurokinin 2.

Objective: We previously reported that the nonpeptide tachykinin NK 2 receptor antagonist SR48968 (saredutant) significantly inhibits neurokinin A-induced bronchoconstriction in patients with asthma. MEN11420 (nepadutant) is a bicyclic peptide tachykinin

The purpose of this study is to identify the membrane transport machinery and cell signaling involved in the neurokinin A–inducible release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as an autocrine/paracrine signal from cultured guinea-pig taenia coli (T.

Discovery of neurokinin antagonists [PDF]
: Neurokinins (substance P, neurokinin A, neurokinin B) play an important role in pain transmission, smooth muscle contraction, bronchoconstriction, activation of the immune system, and neurogenic inflammation.

Substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) have both been considered potential drug candidates in migraine therapy. In recent years, CGRP receptor inhibition has been established as an effective treatment, in particular as a prophylactic

Neurokinin receptors subserving bronchoconstriction [PDF]
Tachykinin receptor subtypes were initially defined using agonist potency ratios for the endogenous ligands substance P (SP), neurokinin (NK) A, and NKB. On this basis it was suggested that there are three tachykinin receptor subtypes.

Crystal structures of the human neurokinin 1 receptor in complex with clinically used antagonists
Neurokinin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors. Here the authors present three crystal structures of the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) in complex with small-molecule antagonists including aprepitant and netupitant and observe that these clinically ...
