Neurokinin receptors subserving bronchoconstriction

, 1995
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.

Neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction in fish – Mini review

Aquaculture and Fisheries
This review highlights the recent developments regarding neuroendocrine mechanisms controlling teleost reproduction. In teleosts, the pituitary gland receives major neuronal innervations from Gnrh neurons as well as minor innervations from small ...

Kisspeptin and neurokinin B in the regulation of the human hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Hypothalamic kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB) are central regulators of GnRH and thus gonadotropin (LH and FSH) secretion. Men and women with loss-of-function mutations in NKB-kisspeptin pathway show hypogonadotropic pubertal delay with ...

Actions of tachykinins on the rabbit mesenteric artery: substance P and [Glp6,L-Pro9]SP6-11 are potent agonists for endothelial neurokinin-1 receptors

, 1989
1. Identification of the subtype of neurokinin receptor on the endothelium of the rabbit mesenteric artery was demonstrated by comparing the relative potencies of the naturally occurring tachykinins, substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B and the ...

Neurokinin b signalling in human puberty

, 2010
PubMedID: 20456599Recent identification of TAC3 or TACR3 (encoding neurokinin B and its receptor, NK3R, respectively) mutations as the causes of normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism has provided compelling evidence for the involvement of ...

Characterization of neurokinin receptor desensitization in transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells.

, 1996
The carboxy terminal cytoplasmic regions of the rat neurokinin 1 and neurokinin 2 receptors have been exchanged to determine if this region of the neurokin 1 receptor is involved in its desensitization.

Sputum substance P and neurokinin A are reduced during exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

, 2005
Involvement of tachykinins in airway inflammation has been demonstrated in animal models, but evidence in humans is sparse. The aim of this study was to quantify the levels of substance P and neurokinin A in induced sputum of patients with chronic ...

Vasopressin release induced by intracranial injection of tachykinins is due to activation of central neurokinin-3 receptors.

, 1989
The present study investigated the effect on vasopressin release of the intracerebroventricular injection of tachykinins in rats. The selective neurokinin (NK)-3 receptor agonists [MePhe7]neurokinin B and [Asp5,6MePhe8]substance P(5-11) evoked ...
